MARVIN JONES,  a three-time All-America who won the Butkus and Lombardi awards in 1992.

I just missed Derrick Thomas in college.  Marvin Jones was good and had that dark shield like Dunbar - and just looked bad ass.  He was the first great college LB of my memory.

But Thomas had infinite sacks, so I went with him.

Went with Derrick Thomas by a nose over Marvin Jones.  I remember Marvin Jones once said while at FSU his perfect hit would be laying someone out and the trauma copter having to land on the field.  

Yikes!

If he said that in 2018, he'd be suspended....

and is revered for it
