THE CASE FOR MCKINNIE: McKinnie was one of the most dominating offensive lineman in Miami Hurricanes history. He arrived at UM via junior college after playing defensive end in high school, and as a senior in 2001 he won the Outland Trophy as the nation's top interior lineman. He also won the Jim Parker award, given to the top offensive lineman, and was named the CNN/Sports Illustrated Player of the Year. McKinnie finished 8th in the Heisman Trophy balloting, with 26 first place votes. He never allowed a sack during his college career, and in 2001 anchored the Canes offensive line that averaged 5.3 yards per rushing attempt and 43 points per game on the way to an undefeated season and the National Championship. As a junior in 2000, his first year playing at UM after redshirting in 1999, he was named a unanimous All Big East selection and first team All American by the Football News. He made a name for himself in Miami's 27-24 victory over arch rival Florida State by shutting down the Noles' Jamal Reynolds, the eventual Lombardi Award winner, to just one assisted tackle in the game. He was a first round pick (7th overall) in the 2002 NFL Draft by Minnesota and spent nine seasons in the league - he was a Pro Bowl selection in 2009.

THE CASE FOR BLADES: Blades was a two-time first team All-American as a defensive back for the Hurricanes in 1986 and 1987. He was awarded the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's premier defensive back in his senior season and he had 19 interceptions in his career, held, a record at the time. He also had 305 interception return yards, five straight games with an interception and 286 tackles from the safety spot. All of the above were records at the time he left UM. But before leaving he helped lead the Hurricanes to their second national championship in his senior year, 1987, when he was first in the nation in interceptions (.91) per game. In 1988 Blades was the third overall pick in the first round by the Detroit Lions. He played in the NFL for 10 years, was selected to the Pro Bowl in 1991 and had 772 tackles and 14 INTs in the pros.

VOTING HISTORY

Sapp defeated Russell Maryland in Round 1 with just 50.4 percent of the vote

Hendricks defeated Daniel Stubbs in Round 1 with 82.3 percent of the vote

THE CASE FOR SAPP: A consensus All-American and the first Hurricane to win the Lombardi Trophy, Sapp was a dominant force during his 1992-94 career. He even made the short list for the Heisman Trophy during his junior year when Sapp recorded 10.5 sacks. He finished his UM career with 176 tackles and 19.5 sacks. A first-round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1995, Sapp is one of the select few players to earn both an NCAA Championship football ring and a Super Bowl ring. Selected to seven NFL Pro Bowls and awarded the 1999 NFL Defensive Player of the Year award, he had 96.5 sacks and 19 forced fumbles in his 13-year NFL career.

THE CASE FOR HENDRICKS: Hendricks is a real old time Cane, playing from 1966-68. And he was simply unstoppable off the edge. The 6- 7 Hendricks, better know as "the Mad Stork," totaled 327 tackles in his three years at Miami, a remarkable average of 109 tackles per season. A three-time All-American for the Hurricanes, he earned consensus, first-team All-America honors in 1967 and 1968, and led Miami to a 20-11-1 record. In his final season - which included nine takeaways - he was named UPI National Lineman of the Year and finished 5th in the Heisman Trophy balloting. He went on to a spectacular 15-year NFL career as an outside linebacker playing in 215 consecutive games. During his time in the NFL he had 60.5 sacks and helped lead his teams to four Super Bowl championships and was an eight-time Pro Bowl selection.
