[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 553352, member: 4015"] "Favorite UNDERRATED Jacket" I take that to mean a player that lacked the usual accolades coming out of high school, perhaps coming from a small school, perhaps lacking the accepted physical characteristics for his position (i.e. too short, too slow, too little, too something or another). I will go with Jemea Thomas on defense. Largely unheralded player from a small south Georgia school (Fitzgerald Purple Hurricanes) who proved to be a productive player at both corner and safety for Coach Johnson. On offense I will go with the oft mentioned Robbie Godhigh. Not the biggest, not the fastest, but if Coach Johnson needed someone to make a play he was the man. Largely overlooked player from Cobb County who in spite of a fairly heralded high school career was deemed lacking the "measureables" by the big schools. I am not sure that he got a scholarship offer from us either. Was he a PWO or did he get a last minute offer? No matter, a fine player for Coach Johnson who could block, run, and catch passes with his short powerful legs churning like crazy. Another in a long line of "little man at Georgia Tech" going all the way back to Stumpy Thompson and Clint Castleberry in Dodd's day to Brent Cunningham, to Jerry Mayes and many others who played larger than their stature would have indicated.
