Bulldog Fan -- Charlie Trippi -- best Georgia Bulldog Ever

I truly believe that Herschel is the best running back in Georgia Bulldog History. But, the best Georgia Football Player to ever play at Georgia was Charlie Trippi. He was the All-Around, All-American who could do it all. He ran, tackled, blocked, and kicked. He played Offense and Defense, and it took more athletic ability to do both. And, I am not so sure that Frank Sinkwich was not the number 2 player. Then I would rank Hershel at number 3.

Trippi was best all round player and in Pro football hall of fame. Would rank Walker ahead of Sinkwich because he was a good receiver and k.o. returner in Pros. Dooley never fully utilized his ability to catch passes or return kickoffs. Defensive ability will have to remain a question mark. Trippi was regarded by Bobby Dodd as the best safetyman he ever saw! Butts says he never saw him miss an open field tackle.
High praise from a man who rarely gave it!

Thanks Glen -- if you'd like to write up an article about Charlie Trippi -- I'd be happy to publish it.

We do already have one about Frank Sinkwich -- see Top All-Time SEC Offensive Football Player.
