Matt Flynn

objectively he had an amazing career. Got around 20 mil to hold a clipboard for the most part and set a couple records when he did play. Not gonna have CTE or body aches for the rest of his life most likely either unless he just got that fricked up in the SEC which I doubt it cause he didn't play very much at LSU either. But I do wish we could've seen how he'd do as a starter.

Tim Tebow
Patric Young
Mike Sadler (former MSU punter who died in car crash, was a really good punter but a great person)

Non-favorite teams:
Dennis Dixon
Brad Banks
Bob Sanders (he was a top notch safety but way too many damn injures)

Isn’t Shoelaces still a return guy WR for the Jags?

Vernel Singleton

Was hands-down my favorite CJ/Shaq era player. As cool as they came.

Kenny Hilliard. Played with him in high school and he’s an all around good guy.

People I don’t have personal connections to i guess chad jones if he counts. Dude was so fun to watch in both sports

I was a huge fan of Bucky Richardson at TAMU when I was a little kid. BR guy, entertaining style of QB play, so I was hoping for him to do more in the NFL...just wasn't in the cards for him, I guess

Shawn Respert former Michigan State guard who secretly battled cancer during his NBA career.

I second David LeFluer; he should have dominated in the NFL as a TE

Wade Richey. I wish he would have had a longer NFL career

Chuck Wiley: He played a few years in the NFL. I wish he would have played longer, Nice guy.

Tory James: He had a good career wish he could have played longer

Denard Walker: same as Tory James

absolutely loved watching that guy play in college games that were close near the end. He hit a shot that defied gravity to win at Kansas in 2007ish


Know exactly what shot you're referring to. From the baseline. Still don't know how he made that shite

Cadillac Williams.

Now I think he WOULD have had a great pro career if he hadn't been injury-cursed. Dammit.

Michael Bush. I thought for sure he would have a great NFL career. Injuries for the most part kept him down

2002 Kentucky 4A state championship game is still one of the most electrifying individual athletic performances I've ever seen. Adam Himmelsbach wrote a good retrospective article about that game a few years ago. I knew/know a decent # of people on both squads as well. Crazy amount of talent on both those squads.

Bush is a good dude and is still one hell of a freakish athlete. You should see him on a golf course.
