Steve Young (although McMahon is right there).

I love all the others and some did things nobody else did (Ty-helaman, Boscoe - NC) but there's just no mistaking that Jim McMahon was the best ever at BYU. If you aren't old enough to remember watching him I feel bad for you. You should have been born sooner.

Also, I think Boscoe is generally underrated. He was also amazing and would have had a long nfl career except for injury.

Rob Morris is up there too, along with Jason Buck & Luke Staley.

And none of those guys are happy with the program

You have to cater to your stars

Jim McMahon - never saw anyone pick apart a defense like that.

You should change your boardname to PapaCollie

5/20/15 10:29am

No love for the best pass catcher in school history, eh?

PapaBill

5/20/15 10:34am

Saying someone is top 15 should be an enourmous compliment

5/20/15 10:39am

I wouldn't count his time with Tom Brady...6 receptions with the Pats.

PharmD

5/20/15 10:47am

Good point

5/20/15 5:38pm

Jamal Willis should be high on the list

Ty only one with a Heisman on his shelf and to beat a #1 team.

Jacob

5/20/15 10:52am

Ty is only one, and tell me this is not true, down to his last game

CROSBYU

5/20/15 12:36pm

Not true, at least as far as his last game (1991 Holiday Bowl) was concerned

BeardedSpock

5/20/15 12:56pm

And so you proved my point, He had them in the game until the very end

^^ is 15 years old and hasnt seen much BYU football.

BlueFrog

5/20/15 10:58am

au contraire: Notice the "regardless of position" wording in the op.

boiseman92

5/20/15 11:03am

I do not think that phrase means what you think it means.

Tricky

5/20/15 12:27pm

Based on other responses, I guess you're right....oops

boiseman92

5/21/15 6:56am

Who is Bluefrog.

bushy7

5/20/15 11:37am

He is supposed to be Turkish. Some say his father was German.

Well how can you argue; Harline is still open. And has been for years

HasRo24

5/20/15 11:51am

I think it depends on your definition of "best player"

mogelijk

5/20/15 12:03pm

How about this definition?

Tricky

5/20/15 12:32pm

Steve Young without a doubt

Mike Hague played for 8 years. He must be the best player in history.

No love for Luuuuuukkke Staley? Only RB to win the Doak Walker award at BYU and

Yunit

5/20/15 12:20pm

Luke had a great Junior season.

autonomous

5/20/15 1:12pm

I'm not considering his career just him as a player during his peak

Yunit

5/20/15 2:42pm

Exciting yes, but not the best ever.

autonomous

5/20/15 3:09pm

Exciting and best ever. This is my opinion. What is yours? You haven't stated

Yunit

5/20/15 4:42pm

Absolutely no hate. That's just a silly comment.

autonomous

5/20/15 7:26pm

Not silly. Luke is a legit best ever contender.

skardem

5/20/15 11:00pm

Not silly thinking Luke was great. Silly for saying I'm hating on Luke.

autonomous

5/20/15 11:25pm

RE: Cougar history, not NFL, has to be Ty. Steve Young on porntial and realizati

Cricker

5/20/15 12:32pm

Luke and Ty - are superior to the others

HarlemCoug

5/20/15 12:42pm

While he is not number 1, I don't see any other mention of KVN here

gww687

5/20/15 1:00pm

I am rather young but my top three are: Staley, Collie, and Harline.

5/20/15 1:22pm

Staley, he is #1, this is irrefutable. Nobody can make any other argument.

Jericho

5/20/15 1:23pm

Luke Staley

My top 5 ranking regardless of position

deckard667

5/20/15 1:51pm

It's Jimmy Mac. He "walks on water" on CB because he's the Greatest of All Time

pistol12

5/20/15 1:56pm

For the record, Staley is 2nd on my list.

PapaBill

5/20/15 2:00pm

Best athlete may be Ziggy. Best BYU career TY. Best player

Coogar2

5/20/15 2:36pm

Fun Question but is often answered differently with each generation's hearts

Cougarpride

5/20/15 2:37pm

Much like AC above, I love KVN but He wasnt even a top 3 LBer at BYU

5/20/15 3:07pm

I'd take KVN over any of the LBs you mentioned

jsjohnson1278

5/20/15 7:02pm

And I'd take Kurt Gouveia over any mentioned. I loved KVN

5/20/15 9:21pm

come on Steve Young

gstodd

5/20/15 3:02pm

Ty was incredible as was McMahon, hard for me to choose between the two

kimdaddy35

5/20/15 3:05pm

You must be relatively young.

2ndTrombone

5/20/15 3:42pm

Ute's opinion: Ty, McMahon, Staley, then Ziggy - No one else even comes close.

sheriffcreg

5/20/15 3:51pm

Ty - Part of it was being the right guy at the right time but still- DOMINATED!

Bleeding Blue

5/20/15 4:20pm

Kyle Morrell - hear me out

WallyWorld

5/20/15 4:28pm

So, he wins for "best play" in BYU history (in your book) Not the best player

volleyjiver

5/20/15 5:24pm

I was mainly kidding - just threw a name out for arguments sake

WallyWorld

5/20/15 5:38pm

regardless, how many All America DBs has BYU had?

Belboz

5/20/15 7:16pm

the question is "best player" not "best play"

RupertPupkin

5/20/15 9:31pm

Best player while at BYU - McMahon no question. Best nfl -
