Huge Reggie White fan, but I wish I had been old enough to see the other guy in that pic play. I remember a lot from Reggie in the pros at least. Not so much for Willie Gault

My Dad and I were sitting in the endzone for the 1980 Pitt game. We watched Gault take a kickoff deep in the endzone and run it back for Tennessee's only score. They even missed the extra point.

Willie won a Super Bowl ring with the famed 1986 Bears -- I saw him play alot since the Bears were on TV in my area every week -- so just the opposite I didnt see Reggie White much until he was a Packer

From the great Charles Davis.

CHARLES DAVIS
"He's every cliché that you want to talk about when you're talking about the giants of our game. You can't write the SEC history without his name being a prominent part of it – as a player and a coach. But the impact is deeper. He's that coach that … pick your place, whether it's Bear Bryant at Alabama, General Neyland here, Pat Dye, who we just lost, at Auburn and all the other greats. It's not just their records, it's the extensions of them, which are people like me. Those of us who played for them, who coached under them, were part of the support staff of their time frame – they imprint upon us who they are and give us lessons for life. I can safely say that playing for Johnny Majors was one of the greatest experiences of my life and I know that I have literally thought about him in some form or fashion every single day of my life since the first day I got to Tennessee. You'll never be able to say the word 'Tennessee' without the name 'Majors' coming up very quickly in your mind. He's Tennessee and Tennessee is him. I was just fortunate enough to have played for him, fortunate enough to get to know him not just as a player, but as a person. He's had a profound influence on my life and always will. I can easily say that I love the man."
