Now that the All Tressel Era Polls are up and running, it's time to start working our way back....
So on to Round II: The All Coop Team Poll
I've listed all of the starters from the beginning of the season during his tenure. I've also added any awards they received during their playing time and where they were drafted by the NFL. (Due to space restraints a couple of players didn't make the list...so if you're a fan of Bernard Edwards or Jack Thrush you'll just have to hold it against me).
There are too many players to list the entire offense in a single poll so I've split it into two groups...the Fleet Footed & The Big Uglies.
This poll is the Fleet Footed (ie skill position) players:
Edit: OK To change things up a bit. Since Eddie is just going to run away with it at RB (and because LV suggested it) vote for TWO Running Backs and THREE Wide Receivers.
So vote for the following:
One Quarterback
Two Runningbacks
One Fullback
Three Wide receivers
One Punt Returner
That means you should cast a total of 8 votes.
Some players are listed at multiple positions due to being starters at different spots during their careers.
Players are listed alphabetically by last name.
Players who only spent one year under Coach Cooper are NOT included (so no Jeff Uhlenhake, Vince Workman, Derek MacCready or Everett Ross). That same criteria will be in placed for the previous eras as well (So no Jim Laughlin, Mike Guess or Ken Fritz for Earle
).
So without further adieu, the nominees:
