You start with Outland Trophy, consensus All American and national champion. Maybe #1 draft pick overall
So Stan and some Trojan greats
That's it.
Fourth in the Heisman as a DT is ELITE
Christ they have trouble getting into the Pro Football HOF. I don't understand it. Few positions are more determinative of success than D lineman. Interior D linemen are criminally underappreciated.
In Haloti's defense, and I'm not debating here, because there isn't one to be had, but it's not at all a fair comparison. Haloti was a 0 tech 2 gap 3-4 NT most downs. How many modern NFL HoFers are there at that position? Wilfork? Ted Washington? Stan was a wrecking ball who shot gaps and ran TE stunts, and he was a way better college football player, but Haloti was a better Virta Via.

I like defensive linemen who do both. This guy could stuff and hold the middle and get after the QB like a bitch. Better than store-bought donuts and Mormon Polys IMO.
At the 1:14 mark, All-Time Husky great Warren Moon says Stan Empterman couldn't hold Kennedy's jock, and Oregon's LDS Poly can't do his laundry. Doesn't get more definitive than that.
Some things to consider:
NFL Defensive Player of the Year (1992) (on a 2 win team) 3× First-team All-Pro (1992–1994) 2× Second-team All-Pro (1991, 1996) 8× Pro Bowl (1991–1996, 1998, 1999) NFL 1990s All-Decade Team PFWA All-Rookie Team (1990) Seattle Seahawks Ring of Honor Seattle Seahawks No. 96 retired 2× National champion (1987, 1989) Consensus All-American (1989) Pro FB Hall of Fame I saw him dunk a basketball
I don't recall where he played in college, but I don't think it was the Pac 10. Word is he wanted to be a Husky but didn't have the grades and was afraid of the competition.

I must have missed where Moon played against Stan in college.

You might have.
In any event, if you can’t trust Moon’s assessment, you can’t be a Real Dawg.

That's it.
@RaceBannon @dflea
Have some respect for Rien Long too for Christ's sake
Only a fucking idiot in their 20's/early 30s would even try to make a case for Ngata.
Stan Empterman was otherworldly.
lol
