Okay, maybe by decade:
60"s Mad Stork
70's OJ Anderson
80's Vinny T (got to give props to our first Heisman or the 80's are just frigging impossible to pick)
90's Thrill Hill (3rd and 43 and the Shootout in the tunnel mother of Miami Rules are what being a Cane is.)
00"s Ed Reed
10"s Duke

Looking at that list and realizing the dozens of names missing tell you why we are the luckiest and hardest to please fans in the world. I couldn't even squeeze Ray friggging Lewis, ST, Maryland, Tez, JB, Plasymaker, Jim Kelly, Kosar, Walsh, Kenny, even one Blades, or one TE, oh and another Heisman with NC- Geno onto a list.

I was a only eight by 1960 but if we go back to 50's there was a guy named Jim Otto who made a name for himself in NFL. It is truly great to be a Miami Hurricane.

This is a tough one OP;

But being that I played both WR & S in high school, I’m going to have a bias in my opinion:

ER20
ST26
Santana

Guys that exemplified hard work, dedication, greatness.
