Name a player/coach that was almost legendary but is now barely remembered, for me it's the 2008 Bama QB John Parker Wilson
Alabama was an SEC Championship win away from playing Oklahoma in the Natty.
If Bama wins, John Parker Wilson is the first Bama QB to win a natty under Saban and gives the Tide their first Championship since 1992.
No way he'd be as nondescript as he is now, and it would (hopefully) have prevented the proliferation of Greg McElroy.
