8.  Glenn Dorsey, defensive lineman, LSU

Glenn Dorsey was such a dominant force at LSU that he became one of the few defensive linemen who finished the top 10 of Heisman Trophy voting. Dorsey joined Ndamukong Suh, Jonathan Allen, Warren Sapp and Chris Long as defensive players who garnered first-place votes for the Heisman Trophy.

Despite concerns about a stress fracture sustained in 2006, the Kansas City Chiefs selected Dorsey fifth overall in the 2008 NFL Draft. Dorsey had a solid rookie season with 46 total tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble. Dorsey missed only two games during his first four seasons in Kansas City.

A calf injury and lack of production would end Dorsey’s time in Kansas City. Injuries limited Dorsey during his time in San Francisco, and an ACL tear ultimately ended his NFL career.

Though Dorsey did not have the hall of fame career scouts projected, he is the best defensive player LSU ever had and perhaps the greatest Tiger ever to don the purple and gold. At the very least, he is the most decorated.

In addition to receiving three first-place votes for the Heisman, Dorsey is the only player to win the Nagurski, Outland, Lott and Lombardi awards all in the same season. Dorsey was the anchor of LSU’s 2007 BCS National Championship team, a two-time All-American and All-SEC First team.
