Probably Randy Moss is best known but old school is Hal Greer (on the NBA 50 Greatest Team).

I guess Chris Johnson. Probably between him, Ernest Byner, David Garrard, and Jeff Blake. They all went to pro bowls and had good college careers, but CJ's come the closest of going beyond that with the 2000 yard season and being one of only a handful of players that have done that. He did it with a lot of style as well.

Let's not leave Ernest Byner outta this dicussion. I think people forget how fantastic he was as a player, not including his time in the front office.

Gizmo was worth the price of admission at times. He returned kicks for the Showboats before he built his amazing resume in the CFL.

Not sure I'd be openly claiming "CJ2K" as he is not a very good ambassador for ECU.
