You questioned my inclusion of Dean and Barber in post 38.
"I can understand Bradshaw and Roaf, but why are spare NFL players considered over the multi-All-American Techster players?"
I never listed Moats or Rattay. Therefore, I must agree with you that they shouldn't be included on the list.
I do disagree that DEAN and BARBER should be characterized as "spare NFL Players". Fred Dean was the NFC Defensive Player of the Year. Barber started for several years in the NFL. They were hardly spares. They both earned multiple All-American Honors and Multiple National Championships while at TECH, even though they didn't play for the Techsters.
