Few programs were willing to let Henry play RB.

wasn't he committed to Georgia originally to play defense? kinda crazy that none of the FL schools where he's from didn't sell their souls and tell him you can play RB whatever you want just come here.

Well Florida was under Muschamp, so he was probably salivating at the thought of Henry coming off the edge from the Buck position.

Hutchinson was the best defensive player in the nation and it wasn't particularly close.
i won't fault anyone for thinking hutchinson is the best d player. i'll disagree, but won't fault them.

but to suggest it isn't close is ridiculous. anderson broke an ncaa record for tfl. record was 32.0, anderson has 32.5 with 1, maybe 2 games left.

this is where i am at. 

I think they are both remarkable defensive players and Hutch will be a top 3 nfl draft pick in 2022 and Anderson will be top 3-5 in 2023 when he's draft eligible. they are both absolutely incredible players.

Only one program told Ron Dayne he could play RB.

was in a conference once and heard saban speak on his philosophy with this. he often has players that have different opinions than him on their best and/or preferred positions. and he discusses it with them and why he thinks the way he does, but he ultimately lets them choose. he said his thinking was that even if it's not their best position, if they want to play it so much more, then they'll work much harder at it than if they were forced into another position they didn't like. and he's also honest enough with himself to admit he's not always right.

my take was that was some strong pot stirring to state it isn't close
I try to be a bit more subtle to draw in the unassuming

It's not pot stirring. Anderson is a great player. He's just not as good as Hutchinson this year, who I think has had one of the best seasons for a defensive player ever.

Rich Glover was a starter on Nebraska's 1970 and '71 National Championship team as a defensive tackle. He won the Outland Trophy, Lombardi Award, AFCA-Kodak Player of Year, and finished Third Place in Heisman Trophy voting in 1972. Other awards that year include Defensive Player of the Year (AP and UPI), All Big Eight - AP, UPI, World-Herald, and the Outstanding Defensive Player in the Orange Bowl.

In the Game of the Century, he had 22 tackles and knocked down the 4th down pass attempt by Jack Mildren to ice the game. A single game

Derrick Thomas had 27 sacks and 39 tackles for loss in 1988, but Aidan Hutchinson had the best season ever.

Idiot.
