I stay out of these because my cfb knowledge outside of LSU dries up prior to around 2000, but surely Suh has got to be a unanimous pick here.  The guy was other-worldly.

Not so impressed with Henderson 
Not a great senior season

I'm not sayin it's wrong , just pointing out his senior season

it would have been hard for Suh to put up the same or better numbers if he had played his senior season

Agreed. Sorry Fearless.

Rick Flair was cool being the dirtiest player in the game, though.

Suh
Sapp
Steve Entman (Washington)
Rich Glover (Nebraska) He's the only one I didn't see play, but reading about him makes me think he deserves it.

I'm a sucker for guys who were good enough to finish high in the Heisman voting as an interior defensive lineman...

Honorable mention for a Goopher: Bronco Nagurski.

Chris Zorich - ND

He was certainly a huge part of that last ND championship team.

After finishing with 48 tackles (nine for a loss) and 4.5 sacks in 10 starts, Henderson was again recognized as a consensus first-team All-American as a senior

Perhaps he was double and triple teamed like Suh?
