[blackgloves]

Ray Childress

agreed

[Dustin00whoop]

I don't think you can argue with Ray Childress....some of you soccer geeks might be able to tell us what Melanie Wilson has done as a women pro soccer player. I know she was great at A&M & played pro soccer, but I don't know what she has done.

[Pumchavas28]

Honestly... like most sports I don't follow women's sports... I haven't had a reason... maybe as my daughters grow up I might, but for now.. I have no idea unless I fake it & google her.....;)

The most I know about Women's Soccer is Team USA kicks @$$!!!!!!!

[November Echo]

I think Johnny Holland was right up there. LB for Packers, I believe, for a long time.

[Pflugerville Ag]

Gotta go with Childress as well. Although, Bucky has a mediocre career in Arena football. ;)

[BOOZINB85]

Man, you guys are totally off here.

Lester Hayes, the king of stickem. He was an awesome DB. Unfortunately he had a terrible stuttering problem.

[TomballAg]

Lester Hayes had a great pro career, as did Ray Childress.

Others worth noting :

Aaron Glenn
Dante Hall
Leroy Caffey (Packers LB during the Lombardi era)
Steve McKinney
Robert Ferguson

[GregH]

Chuck Knoblach

[Foot Wedge]

What about Jacob Green? I think he was All-Pro a couple of times.

Robert Yale Lary was born on November 24, 1930 in Fort Worth, Texas. He attended Texas A&M University where he was a standout in football and baseball, and was drafted by the Detroit Lions in the third round in 1952. He would help lead the Lions to three NFL championships.

He played right safety, a position which gradually became free safety, for the Lions from 1952 to 1964. He had 50 career interceptions, an outstanding figure for that era. He was a Pro Bowl selection for nine years. He also returned kickoffs in 1952, 1953, and 1956. He missed the 1954-1955 seasons for military service.

He was also an outstanding punter, winning punting titles in 1959, 1961. and 1963. He was noted for hang time, and in 1960 opponents averaged returns of less than one yard per punt. His career average was 43 yards per punt, in 503 attempts. According to Paul Hornung in 2004 he was the best punter ever.

He is Texas A&M's only player inductee (1979) into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Hard to argue with that.

Of all the players that I've seen (and I wasn't an A&M fan growing up, so this is pretty limited), I'm going with Aaron Glenn and Chuck Knoblauch.

Don't limit yourself to who you have seen. I never saw Jim Thorpe participate in any of his sports, but I and many others still believe he was and still is the greatest nature athlete in organized sports.
