It doesn't count unless you saw them play in college. I've seen Tim Brown, Desmond Howard, and Danny Wuerfel.

I've driven past OJs house at the corner of Rockingham and Ashford.

Does that count?

I was there for my 18th birthday. Tigers had the ball for nearly the entire 1st quarter. Same night Tyson won the title.

Haven’t been able to attend an Alabama game the last couple of years, so I missed out on seeing Bryce Young in person.

Also played against Jameis Winston in high school.

And probably during their Heisman trophy season...would be curious how high that # would be?

Bama season-ticket holder the last decade would have an advantage.

Starting with most recent:

Caleb Williams
Bryce Young
Devonta Smith
Joe Burrow
Kyler Murray
Baker Mayfield
Derrick Henry
RGIII
Cam Newton
Mark Ingram
Sam Bradford
Tim Tebow
Troy Smith
Reggie Bush
Matt Leinart
Jason White
Eric Crouch
Ricky Williams
Eddie George (Oilers)
Herschel Walker (late late in his career on the Cowboys)

Not sure how I’ve seen 20, but I guess Georgia has played against a ton of these guys in the last 10-15 years.

18 in college
12 during the year they won the Heisman

Burrow and Herschel Walker. But I actually saw Herschel run track at Bernie Moore at the 1981 track and field championships in the 100 yard dash.
