John Hannah is still considered one of the greatest nfl lineman ever. He came to my home early one sunday mourning when i was about 9 where we went with him to watch him speak at the brotherhood breakfast we were having at college heights baptist. I was already a football 4 yr. football junky by that time so to imagine that I didn't proceed to watch him murder defenders as a pulling guard from there on out would be an understatement. This guy was a gentle giant in street clothes that turned into a demon after national anthems were played on Sundays. He represented our school well.
2. Derrick Thomas---still holds record for sacks in an nfl game ...that must have been the greatest effort I've ever seen from a bama player in the nfl...might have been that flyover on a day he made special for his dad.
3. biscuit
4. bart starr
5. namath...maybe our most celebrated player
