[Eagle-96]

I know I know. There could have been 50 players in this poll.

I love Brandon Kennedy

Based on their entire careers, Joe Greene and Abner Haynes.

I was never able to see Brain Waters play , but I would think he would of atleast been in the Top 5 of all time NT players just based on his NFL career. Anyone who saw him play agree/disagree ?

Shouldn't Galbreath get a mention if Cobbs did?

Waters was not really an impact player in college. He was a tight end at North Texas and got even less playing time then Andy Blount. He has really earned every penny that he makes today, his career at North Texas definitely didn't get him into the NFL - getting a practice by the Cowboys (and excelling that day) got him a practice squad spot. Eventually they liked his size and natural ability and they moved him around until he found a position that he could grow into. I give Brian 100% of the credit for his success in the NFL, we did not groom him for it, he took his own future into his own hands and made something happen.

Thanks for the input ... Did Waters also play on the D-Line here ?

[stebo]

nope, not that I remember - he was a tight end.

I'm getting old and my memory isn't what it used to be but I seem to recall that Waters did play on the defense line one of his years at North Texas.

Your right I did some research and found his college stats. Starting tight end for 1st 3yrs .. moved to Defensive End for senior year while also serving as backup tight end and even played some fullback.

Senior Year Stats : 16rec for 380yds , 66 tackles & 5 sacks

What about Kenny Washington? (Brother of OU great Joe Washington, for you young folks.)
