I know exactly who he is and there is no way he is the 2nd best player in the nation. Maybe next year, but not this year. And I would put him in the 20-15 range. That is more reasonable.

Do not deny Klein's greatness. He and his One Play He Has ran shite last year.

I watched him get completely shut down by Arkansas. An Arkansas defense that had trouble stopping the run the entire year.

Can't wait to watch Sammy Watkins dominate the ACC again.

Klein is a fricking joke at QB. Luckily for him, he plays in a league where defense does not exist. Sammy Watkins is the best pure talent in CFB. I wish the Gators had him.

I think he's going to be the best WR in college football this year.

I watch plenty. You're a washington fan so I'm sure this guy dominated your team last year, but I have a hard time believing he's the second best player in the entire country. I don't keep up with Clemson, but it was impossible to not know who Sammy Watkins was last year. I've never heard of that other dude.

I think Jones should probably be on there. I don't think Fluker should probably be there.

You could make a case for Mosley/Lester/Fluker but the list doesn't seem that bad.

Depends on what teams you follow and stuff I guess. It's just hard to imagine a guy who watches a lot of college football not know who Marqise Lee is.

And I never said I agree with the list. I actually think Barkley is overrated, but based on hype he's definitely #1. I would also put Sammy Watkins above Marqise Lee. As far as Collin Klein being #3? Yeah, that's a joke.

3. QB Collin Klein, Sr., Kansas State


It may be just me, but Klein is massively overrated. He finished last season with 1900 passing yards and 57% completion percentage.

Tyrann is great and everything, but that guy from NC State, Amerson, is probably the best Non-D line defensive player in the country...if not the best defensive player period, he is a fricking beast.

Look for him to go in Mo Claiborne territory in next years draft.

I'm not a big fan of this list. It seems very heavy on QBs and WRs.

7 QBs
5 WRs

2 Secondary
1 OL

I think a lot of the QBs on the list aren't top 25 players in college football. Just looking at 2013 mock drafts, I don't think this list really passes the smell test.

He did have 1141 yards rushing with 27 TD's (2nd most behind Montee Ball) though. He deserves to be on the list somewhere, just not sure if it's #3.
