Where did your parents go wrong. They should have taught you that children are silent when adults are talking.

Hill is not in my top 10.
Hill isn't on my list at all. In fact, in just the "H" category I have Holloway and Hanrahan above Kylin. At least they took the scholarship spot and in return stayed and did their job.

Michael Davis is the correct answer if it's a question. Man, what could have been.

Yeah, I don't if he was the greatest stats wise but he is one of my favorite all time. He would hit a hole and carry guys out the other side. By 94, he was a bruising back that made some long runs. That was a fun time in MSU football history.

Michael Davis and Kevin Bouie as well.

Hill isn't remotely on the same level as JJ, Boobie, or Norwood. And I'd say the same whether he had an attitude or not.

Most underrated RB is Justin Griffith. Coaches didn't give him the ball enough.

Snoopy by a long shot. Hell of a shortstop too. Even beat Peppermint Patty in a motocross race.

Strangely couldn’t beat Woodstock in tennis though. Seemed unrealistic to me.

Plus, he was a veteran pilot, so he earned my respect.

He isn't overly talented. Solid college back, but that's about it. He is slow. NFL backs have break away speed. He couldn't run away from college Corners and LBs.

Very, very few rushing attempts in the NFL go for longer than 15-20 yards. Breakaway speed is very overrated for NFL RB’s. Initial acceleration is much more important.

He’s way more talented than a 7th rounder but being a woke POS cost him.

It will continue to cost him if he doesn’t stop being a victim.

Being woke didn't cost him with the NFL. Being unfocused probably cost him. And as good as he was in college, it doesn't seem like he was better in college than a lot of run of the mill, more or less replaceable NFL RBs were. Doesn't seem that surprising that you'd get dinged pretty hard for questions about focus and commitment at a position that is seen as somewhat plug and play once you get past the top few talents.

Damn at the wear his body took before he ever even got to the NFL. 994 carries at Georgia (30 per game), then 1,143 in 3 years in the USFL (a little over 20 per game). And he still rushed for over 8,000 yards in the NFL. He was a freak of nature.

Best evah in college. No one that close IMO.

I agree Hershel is the best college RB . . . but Barry Sanders and Bo Jackson are not too far behind him.

Also, I'd hate to know I had to tackle Derrick Henry, Ricky Williams or Marcus Dupree. Pad level.

I can't believe nobody is posting about how far Kylin is falling in the draft. The guy the should have been the main focus of our offense the last couple years***. Guess the NFL isn't that impressed either

Norwood is the best we ever had. Then Dixon. Then JJ.

Exactly, David Fair. MSU's 'the best that never was'
