I remember when I was like 8 years old me and my dad attended a Husky practice on a crisp fall day (actually happened) and as a family friend of the Lambrights, Jim let me meet the players after the practice was done.
I was wearing a Husky sweatshirt and all the players were coming over and signing my shirt. The only ones at the time I really knew were Brock and Jerome Pathon, but more than anything I wanted Corey Dillon's autograph. I worshiped that guy at that age almost as much as Ken Griffey Jr.
Sadly as I was getting the final autographs I still didn't get Dillons. Then all of a sudden one of the players yelled "hey Corey come sign this kids shirt".
Corey comes up and I'm standing there in shock and don't know what to say. He just goes "my bad little dude, here you go". I was happiest kid in the entire world after that. Dillon will always be my favorite Husky player without question.
Tennessee is where promising prospects go to die behind a terrible o line.
Locker could have been decent if he wasnt getting injured, often due to his lines incompetence
Disagree. Murray and Mariota are tearing it up behind that same offensive line. Locker straight up sucked, and while Sankey still has time to turn it around, he too sucked during his stint in Tennessee.

Unless you are an elite pass catcher or Barry Sanders, smaller RB's don't do as well in the NFL. That's what it seems like.
In my lifetime there has only been one tailback I would put above the others and that's Dillon.
Corey was just brutal and unstoppable.
I think Nip was faster than Gaskin, but Nip's vision and feel wasn't what Myles' are.
I just think of it like, the top tier is Dillon and the next tier is Nip, Myles, Polk, Bishop and Greg Lewis.
Beyond that, that next tier is like Beno, Jacque, Shehee...
Louis Rankin?
But I love them all.
I always though Shehee could have been way better if he could stay healthy and wasn't playing in those retarded Woodruff/Linehan (can't remember which but they were both dreck) offenses.
Leon Neal was also damn good, he was just buried on the depth chart behind Kaufman and Bryant most of his career.

Hasty was the best back on the field.
