D.T. Survivor Walk-on

Most of my BYU memories are from '96 on, so that's why I don't have Willis and others.

Jamaal's Sr. season put him slightly above Staley in my opinion. He developed a complete skillset that was really impressive.

jreid191

He's not even on your list. Jamal Willis.

Solid choice.

Mikey

7/25/17 12:11pm

If Jamal had played in an offense with a real run game . . .

Coop

7/25/17 12:12pm

And he shared carries with Kalin Hall for much of his career. Hard to know what

Most underrated player, no doubt.

Unga and I don't think it's close

Backcountry

7/25/17 12:11pm

Unga was great but not even close?

TNT

7/25/17 12:13pm

You read that correctly sir

Backcountry

7/25/17 12:21pm

Did you watch Luke play? Man among boys.

Thug Mormons

7/25/17 2:13pm

I can't remember how strong was the schedule that year

GeauxCougs

7/25/17 3:18pm

Possibly one of our weakest over the last 20-30 yrs...

wickedgame71

7/25/17 3:57pm

About as strong as our 1984 schedule... should we ditch the NC trophy?

Thug Mormons

7/25/17 4:02pm

Don't ditch it but it should figure into greatest running back ever

GeauxCougs

7/25/17 4:55pm

Unga played against similar opponents many times and did not destroy them like

Game Changer

7/25/17 4:59pm

I'm not arguing that Luke isn't great. I like Luke he's 3rd on my list

GeauxCougs

7/25/17 5:00pm

This is the age-old debate about how we define "greatest of all time"

Game Changer

7/25/17 5:45pm

In terms of talent, I would put Staley, Jenkins and Homer Jones

Archaea

Lip Gallagher

7/25/17 12:40pm

I'd say Unga is third at best

Now that's the CB TNT knows and loves

TNT

7/25/17 12:22pm

I would put Brian McKenzie on this list over Peter Tuipulotu

Game Changer

7/25/17 12:18pm

I'd also put Lakei Heimuli and Casey Tiumalu on the list over Peter T.

foofcoug

7/25/17 12:21pm

The only thing possibly going against Luke was his injuries...but considering

Preppy

7/25/17 12:19pm

Staley was best. Harvey 2nd. Put the real Jamal on there and also L. Heimuli

fulano

7/25/17 12:23pm

I created another poll w/ Willis and Heimuli (and some others).

jreid191

7/25/17 12:27pm

Man, people are sleeping on Jenkins.

ag4cougs

7/25/17 12:30pm

The speed isn't a question. More likely longevity

TNT

7/25/17 12:31pm

Give me fours years of Jenkins over anyone else.

ag4cougs

7/25/17 12:32pm

TNT isn't casting a judgment. Just guessing how people are voting

TNT

7/25/17 12:34pm

Jenkins was 170 pounds - not feature RB material. Had great speed, obviously

Game Changer

7/25/17 12:39pm

For his size, he was powerful. I'd have liked to see him for 2 more years.

Belboz

7/25/17 12:51pm

Jamaal by far

I'mBatman

7/25/17 12:34pm

Do it all guy, just like Harvey. But Jamaal was a more speedy.

gmj81

7/25/17 12:39pm

I agree. And for that I believe he'll stick around The League awhile as well

wickedgame71

7/25/17 12:41pm

I agree. Jamaal or Unga. Both did so many things well and for multiple years

wickedgame71

7/25/17 12:40pm

While TNT loves Staley

TNT

7/25/17 12:54pm

1. Luke...................................... 2. Harvey, 3. Willis, 4. Ronnie...

Thug Mormons

7/25/17 2:12pm

You don't have the all time leading rusher in your top 4

GeauxCougs

7/25/17 3:20pm

He benefited from starting all 4 years

Thug Mormons

7/25/17 3:57pm

You're joking, right? He didn't "benefit", he earned every rep he got

gmj81

7/25/17 4:12pm

You're joking, right? The definition of benefit is

Thug Mormons

7/25/17 4:29pm

Jamaal played 3 more games than Harvey. Sort of stretching the 4 full years

GeauxCougs

7/25/17 4:44pm

Oh and he had 500 more yards than Harvey with only 30 additional caries

GeauxCougs

7/25/17 4:59pm

1. Luke, 2. Unga, 3. Ronnie, 4. Fleet Pete, 5. Jamaal 6. Pete T, 7. Curtis

If you saw Luke play
