The list of all-time greats at the University of Arkansas is hardly a short one.
So when it came time to select the Razorbacks’ All-Time Roster, the task took months. Even now, about 16 weeks after considering the undertaking, we could hear arguments for moving some our listed back-ups to starters, adding a player for another here and there. We aren’t perfect.
But it isn’t about being perfect. It’s about re-living the greatness. It’s about talking again about the careers of Hogs from the recent past and, in some cases, the not-so-recent past.
Take a look.
We started Monday with the offense. Now, it’s the defense. Let us know who should have been represented that wasn’t and how we got it all wrong.
Just if you do, make sure to create your own list and share it with us, too. Hopefully you’ll have just as much fun as we did.
Without further ado, this is Razorbacks Wire‘s All-Time Arkansas Football Roster: The Defense.
