I remember Amp Hill was an electric wide receiver but he burned out before ever lighting up the scoreboard.

Jayden Daniels won the Heisman in spite of playing with arguably the worst defensive team in LSU history.


Mathieu was a heisman finalist as a nickel back despite being suspended an sec game for synthetic weed.

I should have reread the post. Thanks for the note.
My point was he (Mathieu) was the greatest at the defensive position (better than Suh and Woodson IMO).

I would have to say Matthieu. For as great as Daniels was for us, we
have seen similar before and are still seeing his style imitated. We have never seen a ball hawk like TM7;before and nobody has come close to what he did one the field. He was so unique, that you don’t even see anyone trying imitate him.

Honey Badger, here's why.

With JD, you knew he had the opportunity to make a big play b/c the ball was in his hands every snap.

With HB, it was the unknown - anticipation, hoped, hyped, the unexpected.

He created a different level of emotion/excitement to the game.
