Robinson is the best #49.

One of the harder numbers. Based on right now....I'd have to say Kawika Mitchell. But that's taking into account his pro career. Once he's done however, Chris Robinson may own the number.

Kawika only had #49 for a season, his final seasons were as #5 ... think I gotcha on a technicality

No love for the punter and smartest Bull ever (per GPA)... Justin Geisler put up with all of Billy "Hoyle" Gramatica's insults his frosh season and overcame them to become a great player for USF. I remember that dude having some skater hair until those clippers came out...

Uncle Ron Johnson... what else needs to be said about the old man.

Kawika... a beast... remember him stepping on Hugh Smith's face mask one day triggering a huge practice field brawl. He was awesome to say the least!
