Viper 3,139 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Good topic on McElroy & Cubelic this morning. Favorite Auburn player not named Sullivan, Bo or Cam. This is not the best you’ve seen. Just your favorite and why. I’ll go with Frank Sanders. Not just Auburn’s only other 1st Team All-American WR not named Beasley, he had an electrifying personality on and off the field. His teammates nicknamed him “Hollywood.” You couldn’t wait to see him make a monster catch because you knew his passion for the game was about to go 4th of July. He just oozed confidence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, I’d expect Cadillac to win this handily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuCivilEng1 11,045 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 I'm a big fan of pass rushers that look like a Madden create a player for the first two. Tre Mason was, imo, one of the most underrated running backs in Auburn history and I loved his play style. DeMarco just seems like a fun dude, great representative of Auburn, and he was an awesome player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played well, but you didn't really hear a lot about him as a person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gowebb11 9,424 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) James ‘Bye-Bye’ Brooks. Little in stature but huge production and played super hard. Also had one of the better NFL careers of our former players. I’m partial because he played in those awesome tear away jerseys of the 70’s and even (wait for it) orange jersey once.

AUINSY 2,228 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) Quentin Groves, as mentioned earlier. Dude just had a motor and never quit. Anytime he was on the field he could and often did make plays. Go to the 18:00 mark Edited July 7, 2023 by AUINSY 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gr82be 14,502 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Jeff Burger because he was tough as nails, pretty clutch passer and didn't flinch when the game was the line. I like tough QBs. Brandon Cox was another favorite for the same reason. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially after knowing he had all the health issues that he had… https://www.nytimes.com/2006/10/22/sports/ncaafootball/22cox.html Edited July 7, 2023 by AUINSY 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icanthearyou 4,464 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Eric Smith. Loved watching DBs run out of bounds to avoid him. Sometimes,,, even that didn't help them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VicTree 143 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Joe Frazier, probably the best blocker pound for pound. Also Lutzie, and another fullback I can't remember at the moment who had "only be strong and courageous" in Hebrew tattooed on his arm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Refuge 6,675 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) I’m gonna add a second one. Carlo Cheattom. Because hits. Especially the one on Reggie Cobb because I was in attendance and couldn’t wait to get home and watch the replay on VHS.

WVR 818 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) Lawyer Tillman - First Big time receiver, that I can remember, after running the ball for so long. Plus, the Reverse to Victory. Still the only AU jersey I ever bought. Stacy Danley- Bama killer. Ran harder as the game went on. Played some of his best games against them. Took one of the hardest hits I have ever saw,!then got up, ran off the field. Edited July 8, 2023 by WVR 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got up and we won. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
