Syracuse Football has had a long history of success. We look back at some of the best players to play at Syracuse University. Up next, No. 8: Tim Green.

Syracuse Football defensive tackle and linebacker Tim Green is third of the six athletes on this list to have had his jersey/number retired. Green was probably the best defensive player (statistically speaking) that Syracuse has ever had. There will be one more defensive player in this Top 10, however, that player is only higher on this list because he will someday also be a Hall for Famer in the NFL as well.
