    Hampton, Williams, and Anderson all played in the NFL so it would be difficult to argue against them being the best unless Etienne and Johnson have an outstanding year.

    Guess he learned a thing or about goobers. Back in the day, Graceville had a minor league baseball team named the Oilers, named for peanut oil that was produced there. My dad was a starting pitcher in that league and uncle (Anderson's English teacher's husband) was the catcher.

    Neal Anderson was in my sociology class in Carlton. Many times his name would appear on the sign in sheet passed around but he usually wasn’t in the class. But was a very nice guy

    He got moved to DB his senior year at UF. The #7 rusher in program history at the time and he left a year on the table to play defense. God I miss those days.
