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.
-
where does Eric Metcalf fit for you? 80s Texas.

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!

Leeland McElroy. Texas A&M mid 90s.

If I remember right he used to also be on the kickoff return team
he was faster then hell

did Johnny the Jet Rogers make the list?

Leeland McElroy. Texas A&M mid 90s.
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.

Charles Woodson
-
Paul Warfield played halfback and DB and returner for the Buckeyes and never had big time stats, but became a Hall of Fame NFL receiver.
-
DeAnthony Thomas?

He's on the All-Time ND team at WR and one of the returners.
It would be interesting to offer him and his carries, maybe both kick and punt returner as well.

I'll look him up.

Yeah, I noticed him while researching it a little.
This is college-based, so I don't think he did enough, just volume-wise. But he's definitely a name guy.

DeAnthony Thomas?
I haven't created an all-time Oregon yet......so actually, that should probably be my next task, lol.
-
DeAnthony Thomas?
Bingo!
Juuuust not making the team on rushing or receiving.....but a stud that Oregon fans would love to be included. Yes!
-
Yeeeesh, I was assuming Dan Fouts would be on the all-time Oregon team, but damn. He SUCKED.
50% comp rate
37 TDs
54 INTs
6 yards per attempt
High volume for the times, but ick!

but, but, he had a great NFL career
