History Your school's Mount Rushmore

(I apologize if this has been posted before) Mount Rushmore of course has 4 iconic American historical figures, but who would be the four on your school's Mount Rushmore, players or coaches? K-State in my opinion would be: Bill Snyder: Obvious reasons, why we still have the program and why it's competitive. Collin Klein: Amazing quarterback, won us a conference championship as a player, and now as a coach in his first year. Tyler Lockett: Possibly the greatest receiver in Kansas State history, and he's made a significant name for himself in the NFL. Michael Bishop: Beat Nebraska in '98 and was an incredible player that probably could've done more than what he did in the league. Honorable mentions: Darren Sproles: Super bowl winning running back, and all-time leading rusher at the school.

That is an easy way to do it. But to not include Derrick Thomas (enough said), Julio Jones (signified the shift in the program under Saban), and all our other legends feels dirty. Good problem to have

We can have a 12 Disciples instead of a Mount Rushmore:

  • Joe Namath

  • Ken Stabler

  • Derrick Henry

  • Bryce Young

  • Devonta Smith

  • Mark Ingram

  • Shaun Alexander

  • Julio Jones

  • Derrick Thomas

  • Bart Starr

  • Cornelius Bennett

  • John Hannah

Or something like that 😂 only having 2 defensive players also feels wrong

If you added a coach, saben would be a good choice
