Most Under Appreciated Star in a Canes’ Uni

[Rellyrell]

Looking at these classic games of THE REAL U, had me thinking who don’t we give enough credit to while being an absolute star donning the Orange & Green.

Imo, imma have to go Clinton P. We always seem to talk about McGahee, Gore, Duke, but I don’t think we truly give Portis his just due. Dude was a str8 beast, and was a bell-cow at slight frame. If he stayed in Denver, brody might have put up 12k+ as a NFL back, too.

But what say u ladies & gents; who do u feel was an under appreciated “star” while here? Again, not role players, but star.

Duke Johnson and Travis Benjamin

I’ll go with two linebackers: Dan Morgan and Darrin Smith.

Carlos Jones

Jay Brophy has to be on this list...All we hear at LBer at UM is Morgan...Ray Lewis...Barrow etc...(and rightfully so) But....Brophy could thump with the Best of them...was UMs ONLY 1st team AA on the 83 NC team....Absolute Stud...and had a fine NFL career...

Carlos Jones

Morgan wasn't underappreciated at all...he's UMs most decorated LBer ever....

 

[SWFLHurricane]

Another is Rodney Bellinger, who was VERY underappreciated....he Destroyed Nebraska's Option a bunch of times in the 83 NC game, with his ability to play the edge while being undersized at CB...

I think while he was here, Reggie Wayne. I don’t think it was until his NFL career where he really started getting his due. He was always a bit in Santana’s shadow.

I’ll put Bubba Franks up there too. He gets a little lost in the mix of great TEs.

Absolutely — my argument is Morgan and Smith were both overshadowed for their college accomplishments by other canes linebackers who had longer pro careers

Kevin Williams was a stud. Horace Copeland and Coleman Bell came up big in key moments.
