Player ID Help
« on: August 27, 2023, 05:36:03 PM »
Hey guys,
I'm hoping for some help with naming some players that were multi-threats for all-time teams for my game.

Guys that were spread out rushing and receiving, which omits them from being among the top 4-5 ever at their school in either statt.

Examples:
David Palmer at Alabama - 102 rec, 86 rushes (plus returns)
Percy Harvin at Florida -  194 rush, 133 rec
Art Monk at Syracuse  - 254 rush, 102 rec

These players were great at running and receiving, but didn't have enough volume in either to make their school's all-time team.

Keeping it to guys from the 60s till now, who else might qualify for this?  Return game and defense/INTs would work, too.

These will be bonus all-time teams focusing on these players that will be special giveaways or something.

*I had no idea Art Monk ran so much in college, did you?
*Reggie Bush makes it as a rusher, so someone other than him

Hines Ward!

Obviously Antwaan Randle-El, but I probably won't be creating the all-time Indiana team anytime soon, lol.

Derrick Williams at Penn St had 117 carries.  That surprises me.


Does Curtis Samuel move the needle for OSU people?  I doubt it.

He's definitely one, thanks.  I have him on the UT All-Time team, but as a pass-catcher only. 
I could definitely switch him out for a WR there and then have a separate, special UT team featuring him as a runner, pass-catcher, and return man.

Spot on!

I'll take a look at his rush/rec.  He's definitely All-Time A&M's kick returner already.

He's already on the AT Nebraska team as a pass-catcher and the punt returner.  
He may have enough carries that I could include a version featuring all of his exploits.

It's just tough, because of all the worthwhile big red RBs and an option QBs taking a ball-carrier spot already.

Tavon Austin for WV is one, but I assume he'd make it as a prominent pass-catcher.  

I'm researching and I'm finding a lot of RBs with plenty of receptions, but unremarkable yards per catch averages.  

Maybe there's just not many of these guys, lol.  Duh.

Rocket Ismail?  131 career carries for a 7.7 YPC.  71 career receptions for 22 YPR, and then of course his return exploits.  I was actually a little surprised he had more rushing attempts than receptions.

WVU also had a guy named Jock Sanders who was a do everything that played from 2007-10.  He and Tavon actually overlapped a couple of years.  206 career receptions and 113 career rushing attempts.
