Sorry if this has been posted, but i never saw it.

There are quite a few excellent WRs on that list including Toderick Malone, David Palmer, DJ Hall, & Curtis Brown. However, you can't vote for any of them because Ozzie Newsome & Don Hutson are on the list & you can only pick two!

I'm holding out hopes that they'll list Ozzie again as TE, so I voted for Hutson and Homan.

Don Hutson would have put up numbers that would have made Jerry Rice look like a Practice Squad player had he played in the NFL with modern day rules and QB talent (yes, even given the improved abilities of DBs and D-coordinators).

The man put up unreal numbers. Many records lasted from the 1940s until Rice broke them in the 1990s.

And, from what I have read and heard, Hutson was not too bad at Alabama either.

You know, for a team not known to throw the ball, Alabama has had some pretty good WRs. Newsome, Hutson, David Palmer, and (as short as his career was) Prothro. Would take that group in a four-wide package today. Even Julio might have trouble getting on the field.

I don't know if he was the best, but David Palmer certainly was my favorite. When #2 was on the field, you knew something exciting was going to happen.

Freddie Milons warn't bad, neither.

They've already done TE I think...

 

[bear facts]

Voted for my two favorite WRs: Ozzie Newsome & Joey Jones.


I have a feeling another J. Jones will be added to the list one day.

Here a recent article from Bleacher Report listing top five Bama receivers (according to clutchness). Someone did not do their homework--left Ozzie out. :headscratch:
