Stan Rome and Mike Eppley were pretty good too. Both were 2 sport stars at Clemson. I do thin Simmons could be but dont want the older guys forgotten. I think Isiah could be a decathlete if he chose

Wilkins was special for his size too. Just not overwhelming speed like isaiah. But offense it's DW4 ALL DAY

However #11 Is bigger,faster,stronger,can leap and jump higher and further and is the best at his position (can play 4 positions) anywhere on the field.
Just athletically speaking though.

and on the basketball court.
I ran into him at a UGA game a few years ago (his son was playing for UGA). It was a pleasure to get the chance to reminisce with him about those old glory days - way back when I was first a student here.

he wouldn't stand a chance today. He only had to play against a bunch of skinny white kids.

Older athletes would be more bulked up given today's weight program, diet, regimen, etc.

CJ28 was a pretty remarkable specimen. Without the supporting cast to really free him up. He was without a doubt the best player on the field. We knew it, the other team knew it, and he still managed some pretty remarkable feats.
