I remember getting the pro football weekly magazine each year and in it, they rated roughly the top 30 players at every position. Joel Buchsbaum was the writer for the magazine and probably the best talent evaluator of anyone not in the NFL. He was so good that Bill Belichick wanted to hire him but Joel declined. Well in the 1993 edition looking back at the 1992 season and ranking of the players, he typically was critical even of the best players in his write ups. I remember for Cortez Kennedy he wrote only one word and that was “Awesome”. It was the best rating I had ever seen him give. Kennedy was absolutely unstoppable in 1992. I know everyone talks about Aaron Donald, but Cortez Kennedy that year may have had the most dominating year of a defensive tackle ever had as he not only got double digit sacks, but also was a massive run stuffer. Just an incredible talent and person. Loved Tez!
