Who do you think are the top 5 players this upcoming season? Narrowing it down to 5 should make for great discussion and debate.

In no particular order...

- Joey Bosa - such a dominating, destructive defensive player. He can play the run very well and gets to the quarterback with ease.

- Christian Hackenberg - this should be a no brainer for all. He's a big, 6'4 quarterback with plenty of playing experience and a strong, accurate arm. Penn State's got a great one.

- Cardale Jones - I know he doesn't have significant playing time, but you can't deny what he did against the competition he face. He reminds me of a faster Roethlisberger.

- Leonard Floyd - tall, lean, agile versatile defender for the Georgia Bulldogs. He can play linebacker or defensive end. I don't know how he'd fare against power running teams, but he's excellent at getting to the quarterback and making deflections.

- Vernon Hargreaves - Best corner in college football. He's a true shutdown guy. You can leave him out on the island and he gets the job done.

He's got measurable, but he's terrible. You're gonna tell me one of the 5 best players in NCAAF had a TD:INT ratio of 12:15 last season?

ETA: Anthony Jennings had a better QBR than Hackenberg last season.

Not sure how you can have Cardale over Dak at this point.

For a college QB, I'd rather Connor Cook or any of the tOSU QBs. If we are talking strictly pro potential then I'd take Hackenberg.

My top 5:

Joey Bosa
Laremy Tunsil
Ezekiel Elliot
Connor Cook

It's amazing to me how no one ever mentions Samaje Perine. He's a forgotten man.

It's like no one remembers how dominant he was when he got the starting nod and that he holds the FREAKING RECORD FOR RUSHING YARDS IN A SINGLE GAME.

He definitely is. But I don't think Hackenberg is a terrible QB. Should be interesting how year two goes in Franklin's system.
