Again, stats very rarely distinguish the best players |

My criteria is different from yours. I go with the best player. | I didn't use stats...just awards like All American. This way you can just the player in the time period he played and judge PKs vs DBs or QBs.
NFL can't enter into it...outside of the draft pick. I am looking for the best Vol...they have to be judged on time at UT.
This list is ment to be objective...Nobody has seen every player play so a subjective list would be unfair. | |

This list is ment to be objective...Nobody has seen every player play so a subjective list would be unfair. | Travis Stephens was a great back at UT but still not the same calilber as Cobb. I believe that virtually everyone that saw both play would say the same | |
