6. Greg Jones vs. 11. Ryan Miller

Greg Jones is one of the best linebackers to ever play at Michigan State. He was the first in a long line of stud middle linebackers during the Mark Dantonio era at Michigan State. He’s another name that really helped Michigan State transition from fledging program under John L. Smith to one on these rise. It’s not a coincidence a lot of football players from 2007-2010 are going to be in this bracket. Even 10+ years later, MSU fans greatly appreciate their impacts. Jones was a three-time All-Big Ten player and two-time All-American. I could look up his stats, but let’s just say he had a billion tackles and call it good.

Ryan Miller. Oh Ryan Miller. Hockey needed some representation in this bracket and Miller is one of two hockey players to make the bracket. Probably the best MSU player ever(?) Miller won the Hobey Baker (hockey’s Heisman) in 2001 and set an NCAA record with 26 career shutouts. He was the CCHA goalie of the year three times and won the league MVP twice. He then went on to have a prolific professional career and became an American hero during the 2010 Olympics where he won tournament MVP while leading the USA to the silver medal.
