There is a lot about this list that is just wrong..

Here are a few tidbits just from 1st glance...


No way you list any running back above Kevin Faulk.. Faulk still holds the SEC record for all purpose yards..

No way you can put Burrow at any place other than number 1

No Charles Alexander... I don't even know what to say about that..

IMO, Charles Alexander is at least a top 20 player..

How is Léonard fournette above Kevin Faulk.

shite. How is anyone other than Billy Cannon or Joe Burrow ahead of Kevin Faulk.

You’re missing Rohan, Mauck, Josh Reed, Eddie Kennison, Chase, Jefferson, Edwards Helaire

Jesus man

Edit: didn’t realize it wasn’t your list. Still a disgraceful list. Disgraceful.

Lot of recency bias here. Cassanova, Dalton Hilliard, Glenn Dorsey need to move waay up the list into top 10.# of guys just plain missing, Charles Alexander? Could go on. List is shite

Which one on the list is a three time All American? IF there is one, he should be #1.

I think this list is pretty bad. First, any "list" needs criteria stated. Is it college only or including NFL career? Is it statistical, or "talent"? Etc.

If college only then Burrow, Cannon, and possibly Casanova are most decorated. Casanova didn't get a Heisman but DBs almost never do. He was 3x AA though.

If NFL then the HOF/MVP guys before younger guys.

Jerry Stovall was Heisman runner-up in ‘62, I think. He has to be somewhere on the list. And Matthieu is top 5; great impact player; we all wish he could have played another year for us, but Burrow is No. 1. Cannon No. 2. Then Matthieu and Casanova. Take it from there.
