Through 98-consecutive games at Jordan-Hare Stadium, I've seen a long list of great football players walk out of the opposing tunnel. I said last week I'd deliver a list of the 10-best. I learned that was more difficult than previously believed. First, it's hard to remember all of those great players and I'm sure I left some off of the list. Second, of the ones I do remember, it's hard to narrow that list to just 10. It's unfair that far too many of the great players I remember were the ones either running, catching or throwing the football.
In no particular order, here's what I came up with:
Reidel Anthony, WR, Florida
Antonio Langham, DB, Alabama
Terrell Owens, WR, UT-Chattanooga
Daunte Culpepper, QB, Central Florida
Chris Samuels, OL, Alabama
Shaun Alexander, RB, Alabama
David Pollack, DL, Georgia
Matt Leinart, QB, Southern Cal
Marcus Spears, DL, LSU
Jevon Kearse, LB, Florida
Others that almost made the list: Danny Wuerffel, QB, Florida; Terrell Davis, RB, Georgia; Kevin Faulk, RB, LSU; Reggie Bush, RB, Southern Cal; Mike Williams, WR, Southern Cal; Eli Manning, QB, Ole Miss; David Greene, QB, Georgia; LaRon Landry, DB, LSU; Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech; Bradie James, LB, LSU; Richard Seymour, DE, Georgia; Matt Stinchcomb, OL, Georgia; Garrison Hearst, RB, Georgia; Alex Brown, DE, Florida; Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas; Shawn Andrews, OL, Arkansas
Next week: Auburn's 5-biggest touchdowns in the streak.
