Best Athlete I've Seen in Person.

Athlete Secretariat was. Perhaps the greatest race horse ever, challanged maybe only by Seabiscuit. The only human athlete I can say that I personally knew, and you will probably laugh at this, is Warren Sapp. He could throw an incredibly tight spiral on target to the WRs, punt and place kick the crap out of the football, an all everything in Fl at linebacker and tight end. He was also a slick fielding 3B and HR slugger. That is just high school, not mentioning his physical prowess at the U, the NFL, and errrr.....fathering babies out of wedlock.....errrrr. HIs speed, at around 310 pounds at interior lineman - both quick and fast (second to none), reactions, and being in the right place at the right time on the field was phenemonal, which resulted in a first ballot selection to the HOF. Notwithstanding his off field controversies, his athletic abilities are second to none for his position and sport. He was a good guy, as well, at least to me.

I'm a Canes fan since moving to Fl in 1976, and I don't know.

The Rock preceded Sapp at the U. Johnson was maybe a backup for one year (1992?) before he moved to fame in other careers?

Exactly, 1 or 2 yrs as backup if I remember correctly.
The Canes had so many great players at all positions for 20 years you literally need an extensive program to list them all. 1983 - 2002 was the halcyon days for them, and me.
Peoples Elbow backed up Warren Sapp?
Was that his wrestling name before the Rock?
that definitely is way over my head
On the forums, the person who goes by the name Peoples Elbow displays a picture of Dwayne Johnson.
