With all due respect to JD, Badger was primetime tv.

Daniels because the offense went through him on every play. If the play went away from HB7 he wasn't involved in it.

I would say Daniels obviously had more quantity of electric moments because he had the ball in his hands every play but TM7 just consistently found a way to make game changing play after gamechanging play while mostly playing Nickel.

he was 5’9” and tackled like an OLB.

He played exactly like a fully realized Harold Perkins while being like 3 inches shorter and 20 pounds lighter

Honey Badger. He was a game changer more than any other defensive player I’ve seen in my lifetime.

Tyrann Mathieu. I have never watched a CB completely take games over the way the Honey Badger did and I’ve never seen one do it since.

My memory has Mathieu rarely targeted, but when he made plays they were pretty big. Daniels ran the offense, so he touched the ball way more often, and his combination of running & passing I believe had people paying more attention, more often. Plus he won the Heisman…

My opinion is JD5.

I respect everyone’s annswer, and all respect to TM7, one of the goats without a doubt. Jayden Daniels is the answer. He has one of the greatest offensive seasons of all time. Look no further than the Florida game for your answer.

Most electric? Hmmm.

I'll roll with Tyrann. He was the most instinctive player I've ever seen. Unique. Class all by himself.

I'd rather watch Tyrann play than any other player in our illustrious history.

Mathieu. Second place in this race isnt a loss considering the competition.

I may need to rewatch the Daniels florida game.

I was there and hammered so my memory of it is mostly vibes, but I know he was awesome

In fairness, every play that Mathieu touched the ball led to the offense taking over or a touchdown.
