From an Iowa article on Fansided...
You pick a QB, RB, WR/TE, 1 OL, 1 DL, LB, DB for your 7 on 7 team.
There'd be some playing both ways, so overall athleticism matters.
You might want a running QB, if possible.
Your RB should be a good pass-catcher, not just blindly the best rushing RB of all-time.
-
Basically if you've ever played NFL Blitz, who would be on your college version of that?
-
Their Iowa picks (from the Ferentz era, so not all-time):
QB - Brad Banks (dual-threat, could play some DB if needed)
RB - Akrum Wadley
WR/TE - Noah Fant
OL - Robert Gallery
DL - AJ Epenesa
LB - Amani Hooker
DB - Desmond King
Just another off-season thing to have fun with.
-
Florida:
QB - Tebow
RB - options here - Rhett and John L Williams were great pass-catchers, Emmitt was just great, but I'd probably go with the speed of Fred Taylor
WR/TE - Percy Harvin - could carry the ball, too. Or Harvin at RB and Hilliard or Gaffney at WR? Fun.
OL - Jason Odom
DL - for basically pure pass-rush, Alex Brown
LB - Jevon Kearse - not the most productive college career, but the Freak would be on display in this setup
DB - Reggie Nelson - the Eraser would clean up in the back end. Lawrence Wright could light people up and be like a 2nd LB, but 7-on-7 drills are mostly passing.
-
Huskers:
QB - Turner Gill
RB - Roger Craig - first back in NFL history with 1,000 yards rushing and receiving
WR/TE - Johnny the Jet Rogers
OL - Dean Stienkuhler - Fumblerooski for a TD
DL - Suh
LB - Trev Alberts
DB - Ralph Brown
-
If I may, for Northwestern:
QB - Zak Kustok - was one of their better passers and could run...could go with Basanez or Otto Graham here, I guess.
RB - Tyrell Sutton - 3rd leading rusher all-time for NU and 10th in receiving yds
WR/TE - D'Wayne Bates
OL - Chris Hinton
DL - Casey Dailey - single-season and career sack leader
LB - Pat Fitzgerald - not the layup many would think, the NCAA's all-time career tackles leader was a NU LB: McGarigle
DB - Sherrick McManus - 1st team All-Big 10, still in the NFL
-
For WVU, Nehlen era-present:
QB- Major Harris (coin flip between him and White).
RB- Steve Slaton
WR- Tavon Austin (He would be a 7 on 7 Hall of Famer).
OL- Dan Mozes
DL- Bruce Irvin
LB- Darryl Talley
DB- Pac Man Jones
-
Yeah, with either QB and that speed/agility in space, WV's offense wouldn't be fair.
-
This format is weird.
QB -Wilson
RB - Proably Taylor, maybe Melvin Gordon
WR - I guess Evans, though Nick Toon or Abby could make a case
TE - Lance Kendricks because he’s physical, through Taravis Beckum started as a four-star DE
OL - Joe Thomas, who tore his ACL as a junior playing defense in the bowl because injuries ruined the DL
DL - JJ Watt.
LB - I think Borland. Though the recent run at the position might have me forgetting someone
DB - Troy Vincent
-
QB - D. J. Shockley
RB - Charley Trippi (he could pass and kick)
WR - A. J. Green
TE - Randy McMichael
OL - Matt Stinchcomb
DL - David Pollack (another ESPN guy with Matt and DJ)
LB - Richard Tardits, because he was French
DB - Champ Bailey, could play offense too of course
-
You only get one WR/TE guys, not both.
-
QB - D. J. Shockley
RB - Charley Trippi (he could pass and kick)
WR - A. J. Green
TE - Randy McMichael
OL - Matt Stinchcomb
DL - David Pollack (another ESPN guy with Matt and DJ)
LB - Richard Tardits, because he was French
DB - Champ Bailey, could play offense too of course
I really liked Randal Godfrey. No Boss Baily? Jenkins? Last year's guy at LB?
-
It's sort of a Mt. Rushmore for your program, but with forced positional variety.
-
these are the most talented players I saw with my eyes at those positions so....
QB - Drew Henson
RB - Ty Wheatley
WR - Braylon Edwards
TE - Jake Butt
OL - Jake Long
DL - Rashan Gary
LB - Devin Bush
DB - Charles Woodson
-
If I were serious, I would have Roquan at LB obviously.
-
this is just saban guys, but most have a strong argument for all time.
qb - tua - best bama qb ever, and can move pretty well.
rb - jacobs - best pass catching rb from bama i've seen. also top notch rb.
wr - julio - goat wr for bama.
ol - jonah williams - mostly recency bias, but he can hold his own vs just about anyone. wouldn't argue with a number of other players here.
dl - quennen williams - big and strong enough to go through people 1 on 1, and quick enough to move around them too. there's probably better dline at their position than q, but he's best for this task, imo.
lb - mosley - most instinctual lb we've had, plus blazing speed and great coverage for a lb
db - minkah - can cover 1v1 with anyone, can come up and deliver a big hit. maybe best bama db all time.
-
That is an amazing list considering the history Alabama has with great players.
-
Can the QB take off and run? The different rules sets I'm seeing all say the QB can't run the ball past the LOS. Also, is the C an eligible receiver? Are we playing 7 guys to go both ways? That would make a big difference on who I pick on my squad.
Having never paid much attention to 7 on 7, I just don't know.
-
There's no rules, it's just a for-fun hypothetical exercise.
Think NFL Blitz, if you're aware of it...except that was actually 7 on 7, with 3 OL and 3 skill position guys.
Forget the 7-on-7 aspect and just think of it as a 7-man Mt. Rushmore for your program, all at different positions.
And please stop including WRs and TEs.....its one or the other!
Timeout, let's just change it up. I tried to make it simple...

Your team's actual 7-on-7 all-time best team:
Consists of:
1 QB that can run around all he wants
3 skill position players (at least 1 RB, at least 1 WR, the 3rd could be either a RB/WR/TE)
3 OL

3 DL
2 LB
2 DB
