Jgarrett7 957 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 NICK FAIRLEY can’t disagree we don’t win 2010 title without Cam, but I’d argue the same could be said for Nick. Dude was a GAMECHANGER 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,779 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Linebacker Bobby Strickland. 1968, '69 and '70. Came to Auburn as a walkon QB from Grand Bay, al.. Coach Jordan saw something in the scout team practices, moved him to LB and Strickland became one of the best LB's in the SEC. The guy was ROUGH! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,084 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) Zach Gilbert. Incredible work ethic and story Karlos Dansby- incredible athlete Jerraud Powers- similar to Zach Silas Daniels- good friend and basketball partner Courtney Taylor- same as silas Tavarous Pounds- showed me the ropes at Auburn, introduced me to everybody. Stopped me from fighting Larry Casher. He would even stand up for me when people would try to get me to drink and he would tell everybody to leave me alone about that. Awesome guy. Frank Sanders- invited me to his home in Phoenix. Grilled steaks for us. Hey cool guy. Awesome house. Senderrick marks Stanley mccglover Antoine Carter Josh bynes- one of the best leaders we've ever had at Auburn. He was a machine and warrior. Heart of our defense when he played Nick Marshall- doesn't even need to be explained. Seth Williams- one of the best and most dominant wr's we've had. Even when he didn't have a good QB he would bully corners and get the ball. Edited July 8, 2023 by cole256 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle-1 3,821 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) David Langner. Gotta respect a guy who maybe weighed a buck seventy five, but wouldn't back off from anyone. Danny Skutack, a little bigger, but same mold. Went to high school with him, and his two brothers. Almost forgot Kevin Green. Another tough as nails dude. Who made himself into at one time the NFL all time sack leader. Edited July 8, 2023 by Eagle-1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaltyTiger 7,972 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 (edited) Tucker Frederickson, first memories I can recall about Auburn football. Was a Giants fan his rookie year. Terry Henley, solid player, loved the 1972 team Brent Fullwood, have to add him to the list. Still YouTube 86 vs Bammer at times.

Not only gets up after being hammered, but follows the play to recover the fumble and score. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyAU 3,668 Posted July 9, 2023 Share Posted July 9, 2023 Also, Antoine Carter...if only for the extreme hustle that led to one of the most important plays in Auburn history in running down Mark Ingram and punching the ball into the end zone. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cbo 8,039 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 This is a fun topic. A few more I like that I haven't seen mentioned: Kodi Burns - Cool watching his transition after not working out at QB. Love that he caught a TD in the championship game. And he is still ascending as a coach. Onterrio McCalebb - IIRC he had a tough upbringing. Always exciting to see him in the open field. Not one to break a tackle, but he could fly. Ronnie Brown - Surprised he hasn't been mentioned. An all-timer. I'll never forget him crushing that UT guy in 2004. Kerryon Johnson - We saw how much he meant to the team when he went down. And always seemed like a cool, smart guy. Shon Coleman - Beat leukemia on his way to the NFL. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
