[1BearJACKET]

1. Randy Rhino
2. Jeremy Muyres
3. Tie between DJ White vs UGA 2014 (The Pick) and Isaiah Johnson vs. UGA 2014 (Caused a Nick Chubb fumble and recovered a Sony Michel fumble, also saved a TD knocking kicker out of bounds on Fake FG attempt).
4. Scott Woerner, UGA

 

[USCJacket15]

1. Morgan Burnett or Jemea Thomas
2. Jamal Lewis
3. Cooper Taylor forcing the fumble at the goal line against FSU

[dressedcheeseside]

1. Morgan Burnett (Jemea Thomas close second)
2. Kelly Rhino (Chris Reis close second)
3. Jamaal Golden's pick 6 vs Clemson in 2014 mainly because I saw it live and I had my 8 yr old son with me enjoying his first GT football game.
4. I dunno.

 

[GT Tennessee]

1. Morgan Burnett
2. Tie-Kenny Scott & Pat Clark 2006 Defense
3. Both FSU tie- Cooper Taylor forced fumble 2008 & Lance Austin FG recovery TD last year.
4. Paul Oliver UGA 2006 (hate saying this)

1. Reuben… I’m just kidding. Jemea Thomas
2. Dawan Landry. Possibly moreso because his brother got all the hype but he was about as solid as they come.
3. There were several more important but DJ White chasing down James Connor and forcing a fumble at the goaline was one of the most impressive plays I’ve ever seen.
4. Kind of difficult to remember these. Possibly Cash but I think that had more to do with us being terrible than Cash playing great.

4. Fuller from Va Tech in 2013.

I always thought Swilling had the most talent until that ankle injury. Loved the passion of DJ White
Kenny Scott and Word Daniels
Pick 6 by Morgan against UGA and Jeff Ford's 100 yard pass interception return against Notre Dame or Don Toner's interception against Alabama in 1962 to upset number one Tide
Either Cash of Duke or Fuller of Virginia Tech

 

[Boomergump]

1. Morgan Burnett, not even close really
2. Willy Clay (big play)
3. A)Without Burnett's pick 6 against the humpers in the first half of 2008, we were toast. B) Cooper Taylor against FSU (miracle on north ave)
4. Dre Bly UNC

 

[OldJacketFan]

1. Randy Rhino, 3 time AA
2. Jeremy Muyres
3. DJ running down the Pitt RB, just sheer damn hustle!
4. Dre Bly

 

[Whiskey_Clear]

1. Randy Rhino was our best most like but before my time. So I will go with Ken Swilling. (Willy Clay right there with him though)
2. James Butler
3. DJ White pick in Athens. I agree running down Pitt RB was a more imoressive play though.
4. ......oh gawd.....I can't bring myself to say it......ugh.....it hurts.....the mutts' Champ Bailey....blurgh!!! (Damn u for making me go there Cuse )

3.DJ White pick, then Toner int vs Ala in '62, then 100 yd Jeff Ford int
