I see you left out: Kevin Brown, Bruce f'ing Davis, Brigham Harwell, Trey Brown, Brian Price, Chris Horton (NFL), Dennis Keyes, Matt Slater, Christian Taylor, Brandon Breazell, Marcus Everett, Ben Olson, Logan Paulson, Kyle and Korey Bosworth, Reggie Carter, Aaron Ware, Alteraun Verner, and Terrence Austin.
Christian Taylor and the Bozi didn't have NFL bodies, but they were damn good college LB's. Taylor played like he had the opposing team's playbook and all the Bozi did was knock players out of games.
The DL of Brown, Davis, Harwell, Price - that's probably the best DL we've ever had.
Aaron Ware: . PrepStar Dream Team selection and rated No. 6 nationally among `athletes' ... Four-star selection by rivals.com ... Four-star selection by scout.com ... Rated No. 17 cornerback nationally by scout.com
Brown signed a Free Agent contract w/ the Bears.
Horton: He was a first team all-conf DB. He signed a three-year, $1.191 million contract with the team on June 12, 2008. The contract included a $36,000 signing bonus. Making his first NFL start for the Redskins in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints, Horton recovered a fumble and recorded two interceptions helping lead the team to a comeback victory. He was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts against the Saints. In the week 4 game against the Dallas Cowboys, he recorded his third interception of the season. On October 2, he was named NFL Defensive Rookie of the Month. For week 4 he was named Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week. As a rookie, he finished third among rookies in interceptions behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Aqib Talib and Arizona Cardinals Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.
Following the 2008 season, he was awarded $342,197 in additional pay from the NFL's performance-based pay system, which gives financial compensation based on a comparison of playing time to salary; this made him the third biggest beneficiary in 2008.[3] Horton was released by the Redskins on September 3, 2011
Ya, Dennis Keyes is a guy I'd love to have on my team.
You left out Terrence Austin. As of 2022 (last fb program I have), he had 2 of the top 4 total yardage seasons in UCLA history.
Reggie Carter was first team All-Conference in 2009. I didn't see you mention Verner. He made 1st team all conf.
