Who was the best player you ever played against?

I saw this thread over on the Georgia boards and thought I might get it going over here. For those of you who played in High School/College, who was the best player you ever played against?
For me, I've played against Carlos Dunlap, Robert Quinn, Andre Ellington, and Stephon Gilmore. But in all honesty, Byron Jerideau might be the best I ever had to face. I played OG in high school and when we played Colleton County one year, he was the sole focus of the gameplan that week. We won the game, but Byron absolutely dominated the double team we had on him the whole game. Once time he blind-sided me and completely knocked me on my side.

James Seawright and Stephane Williams, Ryan Bethea
some will disagree with me but Seawright is the BEST LB we ever had here

It sucks that injuries ended his career prematurely.

If baseball counts we played those Lancaster teams when they had Earl Cunningham and Pep Harris. Earl was absurd.

Syvelle Newton was a beast at Marlboro County. Rafael Little from TL Hanna was nasty as well.

Lancaster had some badasses in the early 90s. Dealt with them at camp in Laurinburg, NC. They had one more .... Mark Anthony? Help me out Pierce.

I did not play football but I did run track. I graduated holding multiple school records including the 110 high hurdle record. I had the pleasure of running against Terrance Trammel as a senior. He beat me by just over a full second in that race. 1 second in the 110's is a lifetime.

I never played football but I played lots of hoops with almost the entire Perry family(the fridge, Michael, etc...)...all extraordinary athletes. When you see a guy like Michael(6-3..285) dribbling between his legs and doing the shake-n-bake at the top of the key you realize what makes an NFL caliber player.
Best athlete I ever saw... no one on this board has ever heard of(Richard Smith...RIP)...played RB for South Aiken HS but never made the big time because of grades, etc...On a side note, he hit a baseball off of me in little league that hasn't landed yet.

Went to high school in Baton Rouge and played basketball. Brandon Bass (Celtics), Tyrus Thomas (Bobcats), and Big Baby Davis (Magic) were all in my district. Needless to say, we did not fare well.
