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

He's the best defensive player as far as athletic skills are concerned.

Who is the best player in Cougar history, regardless of position?

Steve Young

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

Japan Coug

5/20/15 10:21am

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

Hank Rearden

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

Hank Rearden

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

Hank Rearden

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

CROSBYU

Yep I had his Indiana Jones Heisman Poster hanging on my wall for years!

If Healthy--Luuuuke Staley

Taysom Hill: Can play QB, RB, Saftety, Punter, Kicker, Returner

^^ 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.

5/20/15 11:18am

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

shakarocks

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

MajorZeus

5/20/15 12:19pm

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.

Mr. Accountant

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

Hank Rearden

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

Hank Rearden

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 -

Did your spell check change Heisman to Helaman? Impressive..

Anae4Anae

5/20/15 5:23pm

RE: Did your spell check change Heisman to Helaman? Impressive..

5/20/15 9:06pm

Definitely Jim McMahon
