Sportswriters don’t pay admission. In some of my favorite discussions with my father, he’d tell me who he’d pay to watch play for the Arkansas football team.
Orville Henry would start with Clyde Scott (1946-48), then quickly mention Lance Alworth (1959-61). In the mid-1960s, there were too many great ones to list just one.
Watching Bill Montgomery and Chuck Dicus throw and catch from 1968-70 was a package deal to my dad. They were ahead of most in their time. Quarterbacks Joe Ferguson and Quinn Grovey were also favorites.
Of course, there are some great ones of late like Matt Jones (2001-04) and Darren McFadden (2005-07) who would take your breath away every time they touched the ball.
