Best DEFENSIVE player of KF Era

[HawkeyeMHA]

TM started with the offensive, how about on the other side. I'll throw out some names

Bobbie Sanders, Matt Roth, AC, guns dont kill people Greenway kills people....

i'd say at first blush there'd be several DL players that would probably win the award, but hard to vote against Bob Sanders given his timing at entry into the program.

 

[HawkeyeMHA]

he was a human missle....reckless abandon

Ken O'Keefe

Is TMFS on the list? Left a year early, performance dropped off, but...the dude was legit back there for 2.5 seasons.

 

[HawkeyeMHA]

well played

This list begins, ends, and should consist of one name- Bob "the eraser" Sanders

I gots to agree. I can't remember the last Hawkeye to win the Defensive Player of the Year award............

 

[iloveyoularrystation]

I will remember always the game he played from the safety position against Rogers of MSU and single handedly planted him play, after play, after play, into the ground.

Jonathan Babineaux was better than Matt Roth who was on the OP list.

I've watched the "Hit List" video countless times. That first hit that Sanders delivers on the return man still gives me shivers every time I see it.

Gotta be Bob Sanders. His mere presence made everyone else play at a higher level. Feared by opponents. Loved by fans. All time favorite Hawk!

Agreed, would've sucked to have been that guy!

 

[TylerSash]

Sanders by a wide margin.

Roth is #2.

This is an easy question to answer.
