Most Under Appreciated Star in a Canes’ Uni

[MyKidIsLoggedIn2MyAccount]

-Tremain Mack was the second best special teams guy we’ve ever had behind Hester. He led one year in KOR average and was a demon on blocked kicks. Solid safety, too.

-KC Jones is definitely a candidate. Absolute stud. Just undersized.

-Richard Mercier needs to be there, too. Undersized interior ol stud and the start of that Canadian pipeline

-Bernard Clark was a monster in some games but I think he gets overlooked.

-I always thought James Jackson was great (hey brother!) but he also got overshadowed by all the eventual studs

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.

Wayne is another guy who I loved watching play.

Ok. I got another one, James Jackson (21). He started at RB of the 2000 squad. He’s never really talked about around here, but he was a workhorse. Great athlete, as he was a 1st Rd draft pick in baseball (outta High School) IIRC, but chose football instead. We somehow forget about him and always show more love to the great backs that came after him. But he’s one of the best “all around” RBs to come through CG. 3rd round pick in 2001.

HIS BROTHER WILL BE PLEASED

serious note, good call.

I don't think that Duane Starks gets enough love. He was a great DB and one of the few bright spots of the 97 season. Had a really good NFL career as well and had an INT for TD in the Super Bowl.

Whoa! GREAT CALL!

Andre Johnson and portis were two stars here that are underrated

 

[Go Canes!!]

Allen Hurns, who was overlooked by everyone from this fan base to 32 NFL teams.

All he did was put his head down and work every single day.

Obviously lots of greats in the "championship" years, but let's not forget our first 2 Pro FB HOF'ers in the Mad Stork Ted Hendricks and Jim Otto. Also, Chuck Foreman and Otis Anderson were a couple of pretty **** good RB's.

Dre only had one good yr (2001)...Portis was way more important offensively....

 

[rustywalkedaway]

Steve Walsh and Bubba McDowell need some recognition, too.

 

[SWFLHurricane]

Nate Webster HAS to be in that list....300+ Tackles 12 TFL...and 10 Sacks in only 22 games is outrageous....No LBer in UM History has those type of numbers in a 22 game span....

 

[Cold-hearted Cane]

All the Canes are under appreciated but you gotta tip your hat to the guys from the Butch era! They're the guys that made us relevant again.

Doug McGee 250 pound running back, ran into the goalpost and knocked himself out. Was our sample of Csonka.

Andre Johnson. Another interesting one. Freak of nature, STAR, but yeah. He was so good it was just what he did every Saturday. Ho hum, he torched another secondary this week.

He also scared me from my TV set 1,500 miles away. His wallet says BMF’r for sure.

That may be the next post for you Rell. What guys use the BMF’r wallet?

Webster
Rob Bailey
Tolbert Bain

-People may not agree but I think Deejay Dallas was underrrated. He had trash for OC here but was always productive and an upbeat guy.

-also despite his weight problems i thought Tyrone Moss was also an underrated back here.

-finally I really liked how Colin McCarthy developed here. He was really good his last year here and unfortunately played on some crap teams.

I don't know if Andre Johnson was under rated. Everyone knew he was crazy good. But as good as Portis was, he seems to be lost in the shuffle given the other backs we had on the roster then.
