97 Bobby, maybe. Not the post injury Bobby.

Agreed, I guess I should have specified, I was referring to pre-injury Bobby Newcombe.

He was lighting in a bottle that first year, I believe he had a PR for a TD versus Missouri in 1997, and a handful of other big plays that year, as well. He was still solid later in his career, but never had the same lateral quickness or straight-line speed IMO.

For sure. Just saw his punt return TD in TO's last game on Twitter a few days ago. He was an incredible athlete.
