Pat Dooley’s High Five: Florida’s Top Football Players

One of the last things I did for GatorsWire was a re-ranking of the top 50 Gator football players of all time.

The top 5 were easy, but the rest were not.

So, here on the High Five, I will give you a little of both, the top 5 and the five who I can’t believe I left out. It was my list so there is nobody else to blame.

Top 5

No. 5 – Wilber Marshall

No. 4 – Lomas Brown

No. 3 – Percy Harvin

No. 2 – Danny Wuerffel

No. 1 – Tim Tebow

I had a long debate with myself over Wuerffel and Tebow and even thought about Percy as No. 1.

The 5 I left out

Joe Haden

Steve Tannen

Jack Jackson

Ricky Nattiel

Ellis Johnson

Had this been a top 100, they obviously would have been included. If I did this list all over again, they might make it. It’s not easy to wrap up 118 years of Florida football in 50 players.
