I watched the “Bye Bye Barry” documentary on Barry Sanders (highly recommend), and it got me thinking about teams that replaced an incredible graduating player with another incredible player at the same position.
Thurman Thomas was a Heisman finalist in 1987 at Oklahoma State and then Barry Sanders won the Heisman in 1988. That’s pretty incredible to have those guys back to back.
Who are the best back to back players in overall college football history and in Ole Miss history?
Without digging further into stats, I’ll go with Thomas/Sanders overall and Treadwell followed by AJ Brown for OM.
