Not long ago the Centre Daily Times ran an article listing the top 10 players in Penn State history for every position. Voters consisted of 6 former players and 6 media members, including our very own Nate Bauer. As an old white man, I don't know how to create a Link, but I listed the web address at the bottom of this post for anyone interested in reading the article (I hope it works). Given our reputation as "Linebacker U" and the number of stellar running backs we have produced I have listed the top 10 LBs and RBs here.

10 Greg Buttle
9 Navarro Bowman
8 Dennis Onkotz
6 (tie) Dan Connor
6 (tie) Brandon Short
