LBs dont sell magazines.

I realize there's ambiguity over 'consensus'  but wasnt Marshall Faulk a 3 time 1st team AA.

Herschel is the only unanimous 3x AA.
Yes, 3 time 1st team AP AA, but only 2 time consensus.

Then put it in there.  I'm not gonna do it and be accused of being a homer.

To me the choice is obvious.

I already added three names in one fell swoop, didn't wanna bogart the whole thing.  I just added the ones that were more clear in my mind.

ELA,
The James Laurinaitis thing, fair enough, I certainly won't quibble about it.  I didn't put him in, in favor of a couple others strictly because I wasn't thinking about awards, just how good I thought they were.  Buckeyes will call me a hater for this, but I think JL was just pretty good, and not at the same level of the other two I offered.  YMMV of course.

I think the top 2 are obvious.  I could go either direction on which deserves #1

Yep.  I'll everyone else fight it out.

Lots of good running backs to choose from. Cedric Benson, Adrian Peterson, Marc Ingram, Darren McFadden, Reggie Bush, a few that didn't play for national title contenders: Marshawn Lynch, Darren Sproles, Marion Barber III, Ray Rice. Embarrassment of riches.

I almost stuck Ron Dayne on there, but fortunately I saved myself some embarrassment by looking him up and correcting my faulty memory which thought he played in 2000.

Nubbz, Ricky Williams played for Texas in the 90s...unless you're thinking of a different Ricky Williams?

Ricky Williams is 90s but I like your style.

No doubt, a ridiculous number of excellent RBs.  I couldn't choose just 2.

I think UGA had a pretty decent DE who also didn't do well in the NFL.

He's now an announcer of some sort.

A coach can dream can't he? Imagine Brady/Marino/Elway and host of others throwing to those two.They'd of never lost a game unless it was freezing rain/sleet

I think Adrian Peterson has to be one of the RBs.  An embarrassment of riches, yes, but he stands out in any crowd.  

Pollack was on track to do really well in the NFL.  The neck injury ended him.
