​Celebrating 175 years: Football’s all-time team

Quarterback

There are a couple of choices for this that will be debated by different generations. Rebels who followed the team in the 1960s would claim that Archie Manning is the greatest Rebel QB. The best is indeed a Manning, but not Archie.

His son, Eli, carried with him a big name and big expectations. He delivered. He had more than 10,000 passing yards and 81 touchdowns, along with arguably the biggest Heisman snub in the history of the award.

Running Back

The top running back is Deuce McAllister. He racked up 3,060 yards and 37 touchdowns on the ground for Ole Miss, both of which are school records — records that could be in trouble if Quinshon Judkins has something to say about it, but for now are untouched.
