legit question
Who was better – Follett or Willard?
I personally think Follett is a better pass rusher, but Jerrott Willard was just an amazing all around backer. I’d take Willard and his half shirts over the pain train – but just barely.
I'm a biased old guy
But I say Willard. Follett is very, VERY good at what he does well—blitz/rush off the edge—and his play at times rivals that of Deltha O’Neal in terms of game-changing ability.
But Willard was a far more consistent linebacker, play after play after play. And I can never write about Cal linebackers of the past without mentioning Hardy Nickerson.
Nice to see in this video a little of what Russell White could do. It’s too bad that more video of him hasn’t made its way to YouTube. But you can at least get an endzone view of his debut kickoff return vs. Miami in this video. It appears at about the 2:40 mark.
Go Bears!
