Just a fun thing to bring back some memories with some forgotten & unforgettable names.
This is simply just my opinions, many will obviously disagree, but it's very hard to compare players on different teams not to mention some spent more time on the field than others at UK for a multitude of reasons, so it's not exactly fair to always compare stats. I'm a nighttime guy and have too much time on my hands lol. This includes players from 2008, just a list of guys after the memorable 2007 season. I feel like it's important to consider talent & the player's effect on the team they were on.
