Love Booger but I'm going with Spears due to the Natty pick 6. Great moment in Tiger History.

Marcus on Talent

Booger is probably more humble and likable

I've always thought Lavalais is so underrated as far as LSU legends go. He was a man amongst boys that season. Also had a cool story; I think he was like 25 years old and a former prison guard.

Kinda weird pro career too...rookie season he started the whole year for the Falcons I think it was, then was cut the next year.

I once watched Anthony run down a running back from behind all the way to the sideline and tackle him for no gain. I will never forget it.

Booger really gained my respect with how he handled the Hamlin situation. I know his schtick is to be the odd guy named Booger (rip Booger Mobile) but when everyone else was shell shocked, or wanted nothing to do with reporting (looking at you Aikman/Buck) he stepped and had by far the best commentary until they could get it to SVP. Damn solid professional work.

My favorite Booger moment was when he took a C/G double team into the backfield, threw the center almost out of frame of the coverage and then tackled the runner and guard in one continuous motion.

I used to do some work with Booger when I was in 7th grade and he was a senior, working odd jobs for my uncle. He was a hard worker and a good dude to be around. After Tampa drafted him he came back to my house and had put on about 20 extra lbs of solid muscle. Dude was THICK in the chest once he got in the NFL.

Anthony was Mr. Winnsboro high school, graduating with some of my friend’s older siblings. Fun fact: in his senior year book they asked him where he saw himself in 10 years, and he said leading the Saints to the Super Bowl. Well, he ended up getting two of them.

Dude is legit almost genius smart too. At LSU he took Econ classes on his own so he could learn how to manage all the money about to come his way…

I was going to mention how good he was at the high school level. I played against him, as we were in the same district. I played at Rayville. I have two aunts who taught at Winnsboro and they always spoke very highly of him as a person and student.

If I'm not mistaken, Marcus was the #1 rated TE coming out of HS.
