Trevor Lawrence

You should have called this the Top 10 College Football QB's or RB's

RawhideMarshall : 7/30/2020 11:54 am : link

There were some also pretty good players on defense, OLine, WR, etc.

Sort of related,

I randomly found a Tim Tebow Mets jersey floating in the the Potomac River last weekend. The owner was nowhere to be found so I still have it.

Keenan Reynolds

Barry Sanders should definitely be on the list. He was outstanding at Oklahoma.

Also maybe Billy Simms?

Charles Woodson was pretty damn good in college

100%

Nice list

Earl the goat : 7/30/2020 4:20 pm : link

But Jesus. Earl Campbell not on list? Got to be there

Second Charles Woodson

Rico : 7/30/2020 4:27 pm : link

He won a national title for Michigan and became the only defensive player to win the Heisman.

Tony Dorsett

bluepepper : 7/30/2020 4:36 pm : link

gotta be there if you're basing it on entire college career.

At least equal of Archie Griffin who was great but was sort of gifted his second Heisman. Dorsett and Ricky Bell of USC both deserved it more that year.

Dorsett over Campbell in my book because Ear had lots of injuries and only had one great year.

Vince Young

Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 7/30/2020 4:52 pm : link

best college performances I've ever seen were his 2 Rose Bowl wins.

Tommie Frazier

10thAve : 7/30/2020 8:51 pm : link

belongs on our near that list.

Tony Mandarich

Milton : 7/31/2020 10:40 am : link

Ed Marinaro
Jim Punkett

*State ;)

It's funny because when I think of the top players in CFB history,

Anakim : 7/31/2020 11:46 am : link

unlike any other sport or league I immediately think of the exciting ones rather than the great ones.

The exciting ones like Reggie Bush, Vince Young, Matt Leinart, Tim Tebow, Ricky Williams, Saquon Barkley, Michael Vick...

Suh deserves to be mentioned

Osi Osi Osi OyOyOy : 7/31/2020 11:50 am : link

as the best college defensive player in recent memory.

Vince Young

BrianLeonard23 : 7/31/2020 6:23 pm : link

Tops for me. Slaying that USC dragon in amazingly dramatic fashion.
