Most Under Appreciated Star in a Canes’ Uni

[Rellyrell]

What he rush for here?

2500+ for his career. Jr yr was 1200 when he became full time starter. 5.7 ypc and 23 total TDs.

 

[Rellyrell]

Leon Searcy

It’s crazy u say this, b/c I literally was going to include him, as well.

 

[Rellyrell]

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.

Yeah, Bubba doesn’t get talked up enough, for sure.

 

[Rellyrell]

McCarthy is another guy who doesn’t get his just due. I think he’s another guy b/c his NFL career was cut short, gets forgotten as a Canes star.

 

[Zbrod95]

Easy! Shaq and Mike lol

 

[Ziggy]

Duke Johnson: all time leading rusher in our history.

 

[Luke Caneswalker]

Bennie Blades

 

[3rd-43]

Maurice Crum, Ryan McNeil, CJ Richardson, James Lewis, Leonard Conley

a few

 

[Canegetright]

Brian Monroe. How many WRs you know can net a 39.6 career punt average and then pop a mfer if he dare attempts to run it back. Versatility bruh, versatility.

 

[Page305]

Sean Spence and as crazy as this might seem .. Denzel Perryman. Maaaan what I would do to have a player like either one on the team now.

 

[JorgieU]

Najeh Davenport

 

[KANE]

Duke Johnson. Played behind some of the worst OL in recent Miami history, and still balled out.

 

[Ethnicsands]

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...

Good name to raise but just for background, he was 3rd team AA (AP), second team on UPI. Mira Jr. also made 3rd team AA IIRC.

 

[Ethnicsands]

Eddie Brown

Winner IMO.

D Dub also.

 

[Ethnicsands]

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

Smith had a 12 year nfl career. He was amazing. He was also a 2x AA IIRC, whereas Barrow was only 1x iirc. But Barrow’s senior year did overshadow Smith’s.

 

[Fawk_U Haters]

Eddie Brown

Love this one. He started the WR U IMO

 

[Ethnicsands]

McCarthy is another guy who doesn’t get his just due. I think he’s another guy b/c his NFL career was cut short, gets forgotten as a Canes star.

He was an almost guy. Played on bad teams and didn’t really leave a mark in college then injuries cut short his pro career. Don’t think he’s under appreciated so much as he didn’t quite do what we al think he could have done, mostly bad luck.

 

[Fawk_U Haters]

Maurice Crum, Ryan McNeil, CJ Richardson, James Lewis, Leonard Conley

a few

That last name on the list. He was fun to watch. Also think McNeil and u and another poster said is a good one too

 

[Fawk_U Haters]

KC Jones. Believe he played on the searcy OLs. He was really good and I’d even throw Romberg in there

 

[sabrose]

Dj Dallas -great team guy and often made tough yards behind a lousy line.
