If you were a ball carrier…you could NOT let him get his hand on the nose of the football. 100% ripping that out if so.

The weed crap came out during the 2011 season? Don’t remember the exact timing but can’t think of any other explanation for how he finished as low as 5th in heisman voting that season

Greatest football player ever imo, should have won a Heisman should have won a championship dude was special. College football for tyrann was just easy. He was still an amazing NFLer can’t believe we only got him for two years, he should have won as a sophomore and gotten his act together for a junior year. What could have been

One of the most instinctive players I’ve ever seen on defense for sure. He was always in the right place creating opportunities for big plays.

My favorite for most talented ever would be Bo, Herschel or Barry Sanders.

That video doesn't even show his strip of the ball while tackling and sliding over the receiver, hop back over the receiver the opposite direction, and recover the fumble he forced. A crazy play against Florida his freshman year and easily my favorite play of his as a Tiger.

Him and Suh are the best defensive players I’ve seen at the college level.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a defensive player/ST player single-handedly take over and win multiple games practically on his own.

This backwards arse place makes me laugh lol topic on TM7 being the best college player of all time gets about 53 up votes, 6 downvotes. I made a topic that "is it possible that we have the best offensive and best defensive player in cfb history?" I was obviously referring to tm7 and Joe.

Everyone got uppity as shite trying to disprove that. I have no respect for this board and their feelings whatsoever anymore. Top to bottom, this place is packed to the brim with idiots like every other social platform. This forum is almost as bad as a inverted reddit.

Casanova was all you described. It would be hard to pick if I had to pick only one.

I think he has the claim to best football player ever at LSU because of one reason, he made plays that mattered. Whenever we needed a play, he was there to do it nearly every time

Best DB I’ve ever seen at getting the ball back. Just had the it factor X 100

He was certainly the most entertaining. I’ve never seen anyone play like that.


Reggie Bush was equally as entertaining in college.

I just did some custom cleats with him in Nola. Will post them soon

Absolute bucket list project. I don’t fan boy anymore, but it honestly still doesn’t feel real.

:goosebumps:
