With the recent Warchant polls determining the greatest players from 1987-present (Dynasty era to now) I have decided to go further back in time and attempt to do the greatest Noles of All-Time regardless of era. This doesn't include any current players as their story is yet to be fully written. Obviously guys like Derwin, Francois, Akers, McFadden etc are going to make their mark. This list is by no means going to be perfect, as no ranking ever will be. However, I do feel it gives an educated and well researched representation of the greatest athletes to wear the Garnet and Gold on the gridiron. These rankings are most certainly open to debate and conversation. All opinions are welcome! Without further ado, the greatest Seminoles of All-Time...
