It's an insider article on ESPN...
But he named Beckham at 10, Freak at 14, and Hilliard at 25.

Nice to see ODB getting some love. For a freshman to start from Day 1 due to injuries/suspensions and then hold on to the job is mighty impressive. His numbers are pretty good considering how little we throw it, and his catch and run vs. Kentucky is one of the highlights of the season.
I'm sure his dad, who played on some pretty lousy LSU teams, is enjoying this season as much as anyone.

I'd have to imagine Malcolm Mitchell and Isaiah Crowell are on the list from UGA?
Personlly Hilliard >>>>> Crowell IMO. Not necessarily talent-wise, but I know Hilliard isn't going to get hit once and limp off the field like a girl, then take 2 weeks or play limited snaps each game. I'd be willing to bet most UGA fans would prefer Hilliard over Crowell right now. The ones I've talked to would

If Hilliard would've played more at the beginning of the season he would be so much higher up on this list. He barely ran the ball at all the first half of the season and he has eight tds already, and a receiving td

Sammy Watkins at 1 is legit and easy choice in my opinion. now putting beckham at 10 seems a little low. hilliard hasnt had the playing time all yearto be much higher but he is better than 25

I'll take the Tiger 3, but with KH ranked much higher. Also, he must have forgotten Brad Wing. Having Wing is the same thing as adding about 100 yards per game to the Tiger stats, IMHO.
That's an interesting topic for discussion. I might start a thread on that question.

Who was suspended that enabled him to start from Day 1?

McShay's Breakdown (NOT insider);;
2. Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina: Clowney will continue to get bigger and stronger, but he already looks like a grown man in pads, has an outstanding frame and is well-proportioned for his age. He's not an elite speed rusher but shows the versatility to rush off the edge as well as inside.
4. Isaiah Crowell, RB, Georgia: Crowell shows quick feet and the ability to stop and start quickly, and his patience and feel for running lanes is impressive for such a young back. He lacks elite top-end speed but has burst through the hole and can bounce inside runs to the sideline once he hits the second level. Crowell also runs hard and with good balance, but he'll need to get stronger to break more tackles in the future.
8. Malcolm Mitchell, WR, Georgia: A tall, lean player with confidence and big-time talent, Mitchell shows great body control and can climb the ladder in jump-ball situations. He is a bit robotic in his routes at times, but he's a playmaker who should become more savvy with experience and already knows how to adjust to the football. He excels on back-shoulder fades and comeback routes, and he gets upfield quickly after the catch.
9. Chaz Green, OT, Florida: Green possesses a thick, massive frame along with natural strength. Once in position he flashes the ability to get movement as an inline blocker in the running game, and he's an above-average athlete who packs a powerful punch in pass sets.
10. Odell Beckham, WR, LSU: Beckham's size is just average and he didn't show breakaway speed on film, but a combination of above-average hands, ability to produce after the catch and toughness lands him on this list. Though he dropped a bullet on a quick-hitter in the Tennessee game, Beckham extends his arms and plucks the ball out of the air more often than not.
14. Anthony Johnson, DT, LSU: Johnson needs to play with more consistent pad level and is still developing in terms of finding and reacting to the play. However, he is on this list because he has a very high ceiling. He is physically mature beyond his years and possesses a well-proportioned frame, shows natural brute strength and flashes exceptional power to shock and control blockers.
17. A.J. Johnson, LB, Tennessee: Johnson is a tough between-the-tackles run stuffer who uses his hands to keep blockers from getting to his frame. He shows above-average discipline and rarely is caught out of position. While he's an average athlete and is exposed in space on occasion, he's a strong wrap-up tackler who doesn't let ball-carriers slip though his grasp once he's latched on.
25. Kenny Hilliard, RB, LSU: Hilliard is a bruiser who came on late in the season. While he lacks elite top-end speed and elusiveness, he does have nimble feet and runs with upper-echelon power and balance. Hilliard consistently shows the ability to absorb hits, stay on his feet and churn out hidden yardage. He is effective in short-yardage situations and can be a nightmare to bring down when he gains a head of steam in the open field.
