Who is the greatest non Cane CFB player you have ever seen?

[MikeCane18]

Not old enough to remember Barry in college besides the highlights. For me it's Bush, Randy Moss, and Adrian Peterson. Ricky Williams was pretty **** good too in college.

 

[Atom Atlas]

Barry Sanders junior year.... God Mode activated...

 

[CanesDynasty]

Marcus Dupree was a phenomenal talent, but I'll go Barry Sanders at RB and Randy Moss at WR

 

[423Hurricane]

Ted Hendricks and Chuck Foreman.

 

[Samson Doyo]

Billy Sims or Derrick Thomas

Go Canes!

 

[DC3]

Ndamukonh Suh

 

[BigDikDaddyFromCincinnati]

Barry Sanders

 

[Canegetright]

I'm a little biased here, but I'll go with Chris Rix.

 

[TomAce]

Said Sue earlier, would like to add Orlando Pace

 

[SPFRcane]

ED...Eric ****erson

 

[rberryjr]

Vick was a cheat code

 

[HurricanePhilly]

Best Season - Barry and its not even close. Everyone knew he was getting it and it didnt matter. If they didnt put a few teams away he probably has another 500 yards too.

Best Athlete - There are a few but Ill go with Vick. He was just so effortless in running away from players and throwing a ball 50yds on a line with a tight spiral. I was really young and dont remember much of College Bo.

Best player that I want to hate but respect the **** out of what he did(and realistically with little talent - he wasnt a good qb and he wasnt elite burner) - Tebow. You can hate him and make fun of him for whatever reason. But you cant question his effort, love for the game and the program he played for, etc. I'm hoping we have a young guy on the roster that turns into a player like this...its unreal how it can change or bring together a team that is close.

Guys who I watched and almost every game had a wow moment - Reggie White and Aaron Donald.

 

[JHallCanes]

Randy Moss or Deion Sanders

Patrick Willis gets an honorable mention from me

 

[TomAce]

Anyone said Cam Newton yet?

 

[HurricanePhilly]

Said Sue earlier, would like to add Orlando Pace

Orlando Pace was the first OL I remember taking notice of; usually you watch a game and barely pay attention, you see some guys who dominate but even then its not like "Wow." But Pace just absolutely embarrassed people routinely

Larry Allen is the other one that over the years as I have seen and heard more about he was elite level freak. Like chasing down people half his weight. His Strength too. But I was in my teens when he was in his prime so OL wasnt exactly exciting to watch even through that line was making Emmit Smiths life easy.

RMoss
RBush
BSanders
MVick

 

[SCarolina Ibis]

Deion Sanders
Randy Moss
Ricky Williams
LaDainian Tomlinson
Michael Vick
Patrick Peterson
Torry Holt
Nate Wiggins

Your list is hard to beat. I'd love to go way back and say Bo Jackson or Barry Sanders but watching Randy Moss at Marshall, I remember thinking this is the most dominant player I've ever seen.

 

[Brooklyndee]

Ah I’m 31. So not too familiar with anyone pre late 90s. I’m sure I’m missing plenty of names. Tebow wasn’t some great QB for sure. But great college player

I didn't mean what I said as an insult or anything brother. That's more what I meant is it's been a while since we really had some amazingly dominant football players that are generational talents. You ever get bored go check out some YouTube videos of the dudes I mentioned and you'll see what I mean.

Randy Moss
Barry Sanders
Joe Burrow
