We've been blessed with so many all-purpose studs at the skill positions, it's really hard to choose a favorite...but ITT we'll try to do just that.

There are a two guys who are obvious finalists.

Santana Moss - All-time leader, receiving yards & punt returns for TD (6). 2nd all-time all-purpose yards behind...

Duke Johnson - Career all-purpose yardage leader (5,526) All-time leader, rushing yards & kick return yards.

Then you have a few guys that are IMO underrated but definitely deserve to be in the conversation.

Stacy Coley - 2,200+ receiving yards 1,400+ return yards.

Travis Benjamin - 2,100+ rec yds, 1,600+ ret yds

Craig Cooper - Led the team in rushing yards three years in a row, finished his career 3rd all-time in all-purpose yards and 1st all-time in kick return yards in a season.

...and finally you have guys who don't fit into the best all-time best category (yet) but are/were a threat to house it any time they touched the ball from multiple positions.

Randall Hill
Jeff Thomas
DJ Dallas
Braxton Berrios
Jason Geathers
Kevin Williams
Roscoe Parrish
Phillip Dorsett

So who is/was your favorite?

Hester

Yeah Hester was obviously the most dangerous/most likely to take it to the house at any moment, but he never really caught on (at Miami) at any position other than returns. Clearly that could be put on the coaching staff...but aside from a disastrous plan to feature him on offense in the Peach Bowl and a few rushing attempts, he was a non-factor on offense.

I got to go with Ed Reed. ST was super human but Ed blocked so many kicks and punts that when I close my eyes I still see him laying out for another one. Doing anything with the ball other than just falling down with it, was dangerous with him on the field.

IDK about WR lol. His hands weren’t the best. If he hand better hands he would’ve probably had 15 INT’s his Junior year. He was the ultimate football player though. We haven’t had anyone close to his talent since he left

I’m not saying he wouldn’t have been great at it, his hand were suspect is all I was saying. He was a notorious hard worker and I’m sure if he decided he want to be a pass catcher he would’ve worked hard to improve them though. All that being said he was made to be a safety
