Greatest college football player you've ever seen

Oh, it's about Heismans? OK then, Eric Crouch.

Anthony Davis

coolguy, good to see MH get a shoutout.  The fact that I remember his run against Penn State from when I was 3 years old tells you how spectacular he was.

But I think that in terms of running, throwing, leadership, calmness under fire, pure guts and an absolute refusal to lose and a habit of taking over the toughest games singlehandedly, Pat White is still the best CFB player I've ever seen.

VY only had one really great year, but Pat White came in as a freshman and DOMINATED and looked like a 5th year senior in his first game.

I've never seen a Freshman or even a Sophomore QUARTERBACK as composed as Pat White has been the last two years.


Guys, this kid is only a Junior, and he should have won the heisman last year... when he's done, his name will be etched in the history books.

Glad to see Barry getting his props.
My frosh year at ostate was Barry's heisman season, what memories.

I'd have to give Vince Young the nod at QB, he won a title and was a much better passer than Frazier. Frazier could be included with any number of Zero U QB's notably Holieway and Thompson.

other RB would be Bo, just because of the jaw dropping ability.
Walker, Dickerson, Campbell and Sims all in Bo's class.

WR Tim Brown and Calvin Johnson.
Brown produced on the biggest stage.
Johnson the latest in a line of physical freaks, only QB Ball holding him back.

TE Keith Jackson hands down

OL i would be judging on pro careers, any number of 80's era Nebraska roid freaks would be put up a nice team.

DT Personal favorites Sapp and homer pick Kevin Williams.
KW is proving his worth as a pro. Singlehandedly produced OK ST's first victory over Nebraska since 61 by shoving their QB into their fullback ever play. Remember Ron Simmons FSU NG from about 76 was unblockable, Jerome Brown as well.

DE Lee Roy Selmon belongs on this list. Bruce Smith would crush johny come latelys, Freeney and Suggs.

ILB Juicer Boz
ILB Marvin Jones
loved Clay Mathews as a kid

OLB Biscuit
OLB Derrick Thomas
Willie Mcginest

CB PrimeTime
CB Champ Bailey

S George Teague- Sugar Bowl game for the ages
S Steve Atwater- run stuffer extroadinare
Ed Reed should get a place, but i remember those two from about 88 and 84 so i put them on there.

Kicker- Steve Little and Russel Erxlaben Tony Franklin was a classic as well???
punter Ray Guy- just remember him as a pro but damn he was amazing.
that dude from West Virginia had a big leg as well and i believe he pulled double duty.

All American every year

Runner up to OJ for Heisman

And one of the few players to play both sides of the ball every down!

SERIOUSLY?!?!?!

BO JACKSON!!!!! he was the greatest to ever walk the field, baseball or football. come on people.... WAR EAGLE!!!

Herschel Walker

Nobody mentioned him but Roy Williams from Oklahoma was a beast.

 

Best? Herschel Walker easily

Best QB? Peyton Manning, Vinny Testaverde and Vince Young

Peyton may not have beaten Florida, but he cured the Alabama jinx and that was all that mattered to UT fans at the time. Not to mention, he made the right read 95% of the time (according to the other SEC Coaches).... Still, Vinny was so poised and so GOOD and Vince...well what can you say about him that hasn't been said??

my favorite memory of roy was TD Bryant going up and snagging an int in front of him crushing sooner hopes of a trip to the rose bowl and national title.

I was at the Nebraska vs. Oklahoma State game in 1988 and sat stunned at his ability to move on a football field.
