    Hate to hear that. Definitely one of our all-time greats. Loved to watch that guy play.

    My guess is that we are talking about Johnnie Cooks #99 a monster at MLB, who was drafted #2 overall in 1982.

    Maybe my all time favorite player at MSU. I could see when he was a freshman that he was just on a different level. Really hate to hear this about his health.

    And yes, it's Johhny Cooks
    There's someone in my head but its not me.

    He was the best LB in the SEC during his time. Very fast and a hard hitter.

    No doubt about it. He was the most dominate player we've ever had on defense. Seems like he was in on every tackle. Big, fast, hard hitter. There weren't very linebackers at that time with his combo of size and speed. Legendary.
