Chris Spielman changed the way I looked at football as a kid. First, he was on the freaking Wheaties box in High School. No one else has done it, especially on this list.
Loved the film of Gradishar and Cousineau, knew AJ from Centerville and loved his ability. Laurinaitis is a Buckeye legend. Katzenmoyer could have been possibly the best college LB of all time if he cared at all about school and the other things that would have helped him out. LOL damn he was mean though.
The SI story about Spiels made me dream about football and watching him play it was the picture of everything that was great about football. The guy's personal life only makes me a bigger fan. I'm biased for sure but The best buckeye of all time for me, wore #36.
