Carve them into the cliff above the Bosque River, although I don't like the idea of Singletary staring at me while I'm trying to fish.
Showing your age, playa.
Hah, it's hard not to anymore. All of these players were the face of Baylor football during their time here and all but Goree played at a time when the W's outnumbered the L's. Goree's tenacity and energy did carry over to his former teammates as they went out the next year and performed the 'Miracle on the Brazos'.
All of them played the game the way it was intended to be played.

I've seen them all play.
Still got your "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too" yard sign?

One of my favorites is Ronnie Bull. He was a Chicago Bear, and my dad talked about those 60s teams with great reverence.
I've spoken with Ronnie many times. Good dude.

I've got five words for you . . .
***k you, just ***k you.
Go Bears!
Those guys were better than you think.
From my school days…Robert Blackmon, James Francis, Santana Dotson and Mike Welch. No one on offense stands out to me from those days. (87-91).

C'mon....who can forget the horn tamer, Brad Goebel. He was 2-1 vs the horns including the 50-7 beatdown in Austin.
On defense you forgot Ray Crockett.

While I love great defensive play, it should be acknowledged that Frank Ditta got a lot of Bears into the end zone, opening more than a few holes right at the goal line.

I think alot of people are naming their favorites knowing they aren't Mount Rushmore.
Crazy thought, but a "what if". I really think if Seth Russell had not gone down in 2015 in that Iowa State game, he might have broken some BU records over his career. Prior to the injury, that 2015 team was rolling. Seth was such a freakish athlete with sneaky speed, good size, and a great accurate arm. I would have loved to have seen what could have been.

Seth was a potential Heisman winner IMO. That 2015 team, if healthy, would've made the CFP then who knows after that.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
There was no "might" about it. Seth was going to shatter Baylor and National records. The dude had 35 total TDS at that point. W29 passing 6 rushing. Even a pedestrian back 6 games wouldn't have mattered.
He was going to win the heisman and Baylor would have played for a natty. That injury is arguably the most significant in Baylor football history.

He won't make Rushmore, but he did make Baylor's All-Decade team. So let's give accolades to Alfred Anderson!
Great back and NOBODY was ever as fantastic in scoring short-yardage TD's!

Great high school QB that Coach Teaff moved to RB because he knew it would mean a longer career for Alfred in the NFL.

RG3
Singletary
Sepulvada (Don't laugh. He was the best player at his position at least two seasons)
Dotson (Y'all forget what a bad ass he was)

But is he one of the 4 best Baylor players ever? Better than all the great players mentioned on this thread?

At his position, which in my mind, is the only way to compare players across position. If you're just talking about football athleticism, it's RG3 and then pick some RBs or maybe Pitre.
Other noteworthy names:
Walter Abercrombie RB
Ray Berry LB
Both went on to NFL careers.

I didn't mention athleticism. Sepulveda was great, but he only played a handful of snaps per game. Is that good enough to make him better than Thomas Everett? James Francis? Jalen Pitre? Bryce Petty? etc? etc? etc?

Santana Dotson great at Baylor. Consensus first team All-American. He WRECKED backfields.
10 years in NFL. Won Super Bowl at Green Bay. Named by at least one source as NFL Rookie of the Year.
