Best player ever from the U?

[brock]

Now there can be many considered for this title but it’s Ed Reed imo. Truly special talent and a once in a generation player. There will never be another player like him

Sean Taylor was the best player I've ever seen on a football field.

 

[KrazyCane]

Sean Taylor was better in college and it’s not debatable

Yes it is. The true answer is Tommy Kennedy.

That Craig Cosden was a heck of a linebacker.

Yeah it's Ed Reed followed by Ray Lewis if we're talking about NFL production..... probably with Frank not too far behind both of those guys.

It's incredible just how rich the list is to chose from. But I too would give GOAT 20 the nod. Ed Reed is THE epitome of a football player to me.

Do people forget Ted Hendricks and Jim Otto payed here?

Entire career or just collegiate?

Dan Morgan is the most dominant player I've ever watched play live. Unblockable.

 

[Fawk_U Haters]

EReed20boi was GREAT......But was he really better than Bennie and Sean while at The U?

Was he a better player than...........Irvin, Sapp, Stubbs, Barrow, Armstead, and all the rest of the greats that came before him?

He has an argument for sure, but i'm not sure it's definitive

Kevin Olsen.

 

[HurricaneHauk]

Dan Morgan was the first player EVER to win the Butkus, Nagurski, and Bednarik

 

[TriStarCane]

Ted Hendricks has an award named after him. That’s it. That’s the post

 

[mirvin88]

Thread title implies college and pro, entire careers.

ER is probably the answer if that's the case.

Or Hendricks...hmm

Most decorated canes as collegians would be Torretta, Sapp, Morgan, Reed and Hendricks.

 

[Ironmanfootball]

Miami Hooters star Bryan Fortay

Luke Kuechly was better imo (I'm a Panthers fan - they both played for us).

I'm not sure the players themselves would agree who's better.

It's too difficult an answer as far too many great players have walked through those doors.
