Tyrann Mathieu was the greatest college football player I have ever seen.

He was certainly the most entertaining. I’ve never seen anyone play like that.

Dude was awesome. Burrow does not have a small edge?

Ironically I think the same for PP, loved the honey badger though.

You can make arguments for a bunch of people. His highlight tape is one of the best out there though.

Honey Badger was like no other. Int's, punt returner, solid tackler, major disruption specialist. Should have won Heisman. Synthetic weed tackled him though.

He made plays that nobody before him had ever made, and nobody after him will ever make. The way that he was able to impact seemingly every game in a different way each time was crazy to watch. Truly one of a kind, and you can't say that about many players.

So much embarrassment of Aggy. Delish.

Harold Perkins could be the next HB if the coaches would commit to using him the same way.

I wouldn’t go quite that far but he had incredible instincts to the ball. One of the best I have ever seen along those lines.

His football instincts, ball skills, ability to wreak havoc, get the ball on the ground and then pick it up at full speed (or catch it out of the air), his willingness to tackle, his punt return skills…we’re all incredible. Not very good. Not elite. Incredible.

Barry Sanders rushed for over 2,600 yd in 11 games I think that's probably the greatest college football player ever. Counting his bowl game he was over 2,800 yards they didn't count it.

No where close. I'll see your TM for Tommy Casanova as a start

I was always thought if he would’ve returned that second td against UGA, he probably would’ve won it.

You want the coaches to line Perkins up at CB and in the slot and as punt returner?? What could go wrong
