I think Shaun Bryson would qualify too. He was definitely good enough to play RB at any school, yet he spent most of his time at full-back blocking for others. Definitely sacrificed alot for the team. I always thought he was a crowd favorite. I know he bled orange for sure!

Casey Clausen from his freshman year. He was like the number three guy after Suggs and Matthews weren't getting it done. The rest of the story, well, you already know.

"Tough Stuff" Bill Duff. The New Jersey Nightmare.
Good answer.

I had a class with Bill Duff while I was at UT and the guy was always scary. He always walked into class with a mean look on his face. I never really got a chance to talk to him. He always came in just as class started and sat on the other side of the room. He may have been a nice guy, but he looked like a mean son of a gun.

So many good ones being thrown out that I'm having trouble coming up with an original one. I always enjoyed Stanley Asumnu, but especially his last year in the Bruce Pearl system.

I'm going to name two old-timers who were great players and neither had great pro careers. But both were role players, stars, and game changers.
Wide receiver Larry Seivers
and
linebacker Steve Kiner
