CAREER TOTAL OFFENSE LEADERS Matt Montgomery 1991-94 8,311 Linebackers are another area that Maynor is pleased with the Roy Johnson 1996-99 7,556 talent returning this year.

Ardell Daniels 2004-05 2,142 Adam Brown and Anthony Provost handled the kicking duties and Lamonte Still 1994-96 1,862 Antwon Chisholm 2010-13 1,733 were a defi nite 1-2 combo.
