Tripp has a lot of historical significance for me.

In the height of my fandom as a kid, he was possibly my favorite. I loved Tripp and Vada Murray D backs and had jerseys of both. I think Ken Jeong on the gameday for Michigan/MSU said he knew Tripp back in the day.

braylon edwards was similar but probably a more "exciting" college player

Who can forget that 92 yard TD reception to beat the Gumps? Or his game winner in the Gator Bowl?

Shocked it went this long without comment.
