Here’s 5 guys that come to mind for me in chronological order. Most of these guys were studs here but are overshadowed by all-time greats.

WR Horace Copeland
QB Scott Covington
OL Sherko Haji-Rasouli
S Maurice Sikes
CB Brandon Harris

What the **** are you talking about?
 
Kelly Jennings AKA "The Club" and Marcus Maxey AKA "The Pad"

Those two were our starting duo at CB in 2005. They were absolutely lockdown and tremendously underrated.

You may have had an appreciation for them. And yes, they were highly regarded by some fans and talked about by others as well, but IMHO not to the extent warranted. You could make a strong argument both players were some of the best, if not the best, to ever play their respective positions at Miami, yet they're not held in that same esteem by most. Downtown Eddie Brown was Micheal Irvin before Micheal Irvin. And Rusty Medearis was the 2nd best DT to play at Miami prior to his career ending knee injury. Both guys have IMHO have been sold short of how great they were wearing that orange & green U on their helmet.

Everybody acknowledges how great Rusty was as a DE (not DT) prior to his injury. Eddie Brown is always referred as one of the best WRs at Miami and a key player on the Canes 1st NC team.

I‘d argue TE Willie Smith from that same era is overlooked, given the run of TEs has enjoyed since Bubba Franks through David Njoku.

Yes they ARE held in the same esteem as others....You've got to be kidding. Brown is widely regarded as a Top 4-5 WR in UM History. Medearis is also widely considered to be Top 3-4 DE in UM History.

Are they appreciated by you and some of the other older diehards? Yeah maybe, but whether you realize it or not a lot of the younger folks in this fanbase don't know who either guy is.
