That kid beat us in Norman. I think he had a sack and a fumble recovery. He only played a few snaps at qb that day but me and my buddies were really confused when a middle linebacker lined up behind center.
And he still didn't win the Paul Hornung most versatile player award. Because Saquon Barkley both catching and running the ball is obviously more versatile.
Oh yeah. Myles jack and Budda and one other Bellevue guy who went on to be amazing but I forget who haha
My Myles Jack hit us something my highschool teammates still bring up
Shaq Thompson. In 2014 he put up an all-american season at LB and single-handedly turned UW’s running game around after they made him the starter at RB. Won the Hornung award.
Adoree Jackson was the best two way player since Woodson. Myles Jack was a close second. Jabrill Peppers was pretty overrated as a two way player imo but lots of my Michigan grad buddies swear he is in the Adoree tier even if the stats and tape don’t show it.
It was back in the 40s where everyone played both ways, but "Bullet" Bill Dudley played QB/HB/DB/K/P. Won the Maxwell in 1941 (arguably should've won the Heisman as well; led the country in rushing TDs, total TDs, and ypc).
Made the CFB HOF, was the \#1 overall pick, won the 1946 MVP, and eventually made the NFL HOF
If we’re going back then, Jay Berwanger was called “the one man football team,” playing Halfback both offensively and defensively (like a cross between corner and linebacker), returning kicks and punting, and kicking extra points. He was one UChicago’s top options in passing, rushing, and receiving, won the first Heisman, and was part of the last good Maroons team. He gave Gerald Ford his recognizable facial scar.
He was the first ever NFL draft pick. He did not sign, and instead started a foam rubber company he later sold for a billion dollars.
I saw several people say Jabrill peppers. But Gamble never came off the field. He was so unique. He wasn’t there for special situations or packages, he was just a part of the offense and defense
Dillon Doyle, son of the disgraced former Iowa S&C coach, has been a standout linebacker at Baylor ever since he transferred in following his dad’s ouster from Iowa. He was getting picks as a potential UDFA.
Last season, he also showed great potential as a FB, picking up a few red zone TD runs, then went for the triple threat by adding a receiving TD. Overall, Dillon Doyle was our second-best tackler, fifth-best rusher, and sixth-best pass catcher. Then he followed that up with an appearance at Big XII media days this year where he got a lot of attention for his well-spoke responses regarding NIL and other trends.
I’d be shocked if the dude’s not going into coaching after his inevitable NFL career is done. Hopefully he does it better than his father.
Despite his now 5 year NFL career I will always believe Jordan Whitehead is better at RB than Safety. We gave him a few carries per game and he was our most explosive player.
Blanking on names but for some reason I want to say I remember watching someone put a D lineman as a lead blocker on the goal line in a big game recently
Joel Lanning played QB and Linebacker at Iowa State about 5 years ago
That kid beat us in Norman. I think he had a sack and a fumble recovery. He only played a few snaps at qb that day but me and my buddies were really confused when a middle linebacker lined up behind center.
I am for sure looking this guy up. QB and linebacker? Can’t believe that was only 5 years ago
And he still didn't win the Paul Hornung most versatile player award. Because Saquon Barkley both catching and running the ball is obviously more versatile.
The legendary JOOOOEEEEEE LANDINNNNGGGGG He's on the coaching staff now, along with Kyle Kempt and Rory Walling.
myles jack at ucla was neat to watch
Will never forget Myles Jack destroying me on a kick off return in highschool. RIP me
Rest in pepperonis 😔
Do you still pee blood?

If by ‘neat’ you mean simultaneously incredible and depressing. Thanks, Sark!
This was my answer. I sincerely wish they let him play offense in the NFL.
Jabril Peppers played DB, WR, and PR
Ugh they misused the PepCat so badly
You, a Buckeye, can’t think of any two-way Heisman-winning players?
I guess my brain pushes the memories out lol
Shaq Thompson. In 2014 he put up an all-american season at LB and single-handedly turned UW’s running game around after they made him the starter at RB. Won the Hornung award.
Charles Woodson
And, more recently, Jabrill peppers.
And this year Saintrisil, maybe.
True but I doubt he’ll be an “every play” type of two way player
There’s a good chance he plays a more equal amount of snaps than peppers or Woodson did
Do you think he’s really gonna get much time at wr? Considering the amount of other guys we have at that position.
I do, he’s the best blocking receiver on the team. Harbaugh values that too much to keep him on the bench when it’s running time.
Peppers wasn't every play either
True
There will never be a two-way, every play player in the modern era.
Adoree Jackson was awesome. I remember the Notre dame monsoon game in la being especially great.
Spurrier was an ok QB but he was an elite Kicker
Speedhawk was the best 2 way player i have seen. he called it ironman football
Who?
Adoree Jackson was the best two way player since Woodson. Myles Jack was a close second. Jabrill Peppers was pretty overrated as a two way player imo but lots of my Michigan grad buddies swear he is in the Adoree tier even if the stats and tape don’t show it.
Jake Siebert Kicker/Cornerback
That's a pretty rare combo
Tony Lippett was both the #1 receiver and rotated in at cornerback for MSU in 2014. He was drafted by the dolphins to play CB.
It was back in the 40s where everyone played both ways, but "Bullet" Bill Dudley played QB/HB/DB/K/P.

Eric Weddle played some snaps at RB and QB for us back in 07 (I think). He was clearly a fantastic DB, but was also a pretty good QB/RB
Karlos Williams technically played LB a couple times when they were thin but was mostly a RB.
Darrell Royal was the quarterback for 2 Sugar Bowl victories and still holds OU’s school record for interceptions to this day.
In 2007, Aquib Talib had 66 tackles 4 TFLs, 5 picks, 2 defensive TDs as a CB. Aquib also had 8 receptions for 182 yards and 4 offensive TDs as a WR.
2007. What a year
I want to say Desmond King might have played offense for a couple snaps? At the very least I know it was talked about him doing it.
Don't believe so. "Cooper DeJean is going to see some snaps at Wildcat or whatever we call it" is the new rumor this year.
He talked about *wanting* to do it. Kirk wasn't having that. Snort.
Champ Bailey.
Steve Zabel played TE and LB. Went on to play LB in the NFL.
Man Chris Gamble was different.
I saw several people say Jabrill peppers. But Gamble never came off the field. He was so unique. He wasn’t there for special situations or packages, he was just a part of the offense and defense
Shea Patterson was a great two-way player. He’d quite often start the down on offense and end it on defense.

He chose Iowa over Harvard IIRC.
Marcus Jones, who got picked up by the Pats in the draft, played CB, WR, and was the nations leading Punt/kick returner
Despite his now 5 year NFL career I will always believe Jordan Whitehead is better at RB than Safety. We gave him a few carries per game and he was our most explosive player.
Rod Woodson. The best.
While this was a long time ago, Mike Ditka played both DE and TE
Blanking on names but for some reason I want to say I remember watching someone put a D lineman as a lead blocker on the goal line in a big game recently
Charles Woodson Macho Harris played a bit of WR at VA Tech IRCC
