Joe Burrow was fricking average in 2018
I mean he called his shot on how absurd the 2019 offense would be that summer. All he needed was a modern OC to enable it all

Lamar Jackson at 5 but Jayden Daniels is down at 21 when neither one of them could overcome the LSU defense.

Young as well, according to your criteria

Tommie Frazier is the best NCAA football player ever

That guy was an absolute stud

Where is Johnny Manziel??

Tyrann Mathieu is an all-time great college football player and is forgotten so much

I’d probably put Tebow or Bush at number 1. They played more seasons at the highest level than Scam Newton.

Cam, Reggie and Burrow are interchangeable at 1 imo. Suh is rage bait.

Miller did not play the same position as Suh and they had very different responsibilities
Did they though??

I don’t know that Big12 championship game against Texas was legendary.. with that said the best college football player I’ve ever witnessed is Honey Badger 2011…

Bowers and Matheiu too low. Travis hunter, Chase Young and even Mariota way too high

List is strange… hard to choose for one season it’s Joe Burrow for a career it’s Tebow.

Cam is a clear #1

Quenton Nelson? I didn't watch many Our Lady games when he was playing, so I don't know if that's deserved or not. But a lot of this is just based on criteria. At his position, the impact on the game is relatively limited, so other guys would be ahead of him in overall impact. But if the criteria is more based on how effective a player was in his specific role, maybe that warrants the ranking.
There are more ways to vary the weight of the criteria. Career impact, peak season or performances, how good a player's overall team was, level of competition, etc.
Darren McFadden is in the top 10 for me.

W/O looking at any other responses I would say Cam Newton. He may be a POS now, and didn't do too much in NFL, but he was a beast in CFB.

Like most of you, the first thing I did was check for my name.
WTF, I'm not even on the list?

Far from an Aggy fan but Manziel is the craziest player ive ever seen play. He belongs on an all time list.
