Quarterback: Aaron Brooks was the clear #2 behind Shawn Moore. |
Tight End: Aaron Mundy was head and shoulders above everyone else. |
Wide Receiver: This was another extremely close call, with Tyrone Davis edging out Germane Crowell for wide receiver #2. |
Running Back: Tiki Barber was just edged out by Terry Kirby for the second running back spot. |
Guard: Mark Dixon and Noel LaMontagne were easy choices for the guard spots. |
Tackle: Jim Reid, Chris Harrison, and Doug Karczewski received some consideration for the second tackle spot. |
Center: John St. Clair was the clear choice at center. |
Offense |
Defensive End: Chris Slade was a given. The competition for the second defensive end spot, which came down to Patrick Kerney and Mike Frederick, was much closer than I would have expected. Frederick was good for a longer period and actually had more career sacks (26-24) and tackles for loss (50-32). However, during their best seasons, Kerney was more dominant, which gave him the edge in my book. |
Defense |
Defensive Tackle: Todd White and Antonio Dingle seemed like pretty obvious choices. |
Outside Linebacker: Jamie Sharper and James Farrior were no-brainers. Byron Thweatt was probably the next man up. |
Middle Linebacker: Randy Neal was pretty damn good. He's 7th on the all-time tackle list, and his 139 tackles in 1993 are the 3rd highest single season total in school history. Neal also returned a school record four interception for touchdowns during his career. |
Safety: The final decision on the second safety spot came down to Percy Ellsworth and Keith Lyle. |
Cornerback: There were a number of guys in the mix for cornerback #2 |
