Since the passing of Sean Taylor, I have been wildly fascinated by the University of Miami teams put together at the turn of the century. With so many first-round draft picks, they were absolutely loaded and lost many players early to the NFL draft. Taking a full, four-year sample of recruits, I love looking at what this team could have been if everyone played together. Taking the players compiled from 2000-2003, this is easily the greatest grouping of talent college football has ever seen.
Your 2000-2003 roster:QB:
Ken Dorsey

Clinton Portis
Willis McGahee
Frank Gore
Najeh Davenport
WR:
Reggie Wayne
Andre Johnson
Santana Moss
Roscoe Parrish
Sinorice Moss
TE:
Jeremy Shockey
Kellen Winslow II
Greg Olsen
Tackle:
Bryant McKinnie
Vernon Carey
Eric Winston
Joaquin Gonzalez
Guard:
Martin Bibla
Sherko Haji-Rasouli
Center:
Brett Romberg
DE:Jerome McDougale
Baraka Atkins
Bryan Pata
DT:
Vince Wilfork
Orien Harris
William Joseph
LB:
Jonathan Vilma
D.J. Williams
Jon Beason
Dan Morgan
Rocky McIntosh
Leon Williams
CB:
Antrel Rolle
Phillip Buchanon
Kelly Jennings
Al Blades
Safety:
Sean Taylor
Ed Reed
Brandon Meriweather
Punt/Kick Returner:
Devin Hester
That roster blows my mind. You seriously had to be a future Pro Bowler just to see the field on that team. I would love to see that squad put back together and matched against an NFL team, because I honestly think the University of Miami would win. There might not be a collection of talent like that on a college team ever again.
