Brodie Croyle

Was a 3rd round draft pick. We must be watching different QBs

Actually, there’s some validity to the comparison - legacy player, highly regarded recruit, HC who signed him left/was fired two years into his career - all we need now is for someone to start a rumor that Bo was killed in a hunting accident

But 2001-2005 was another epoch in terms of CFB. Consider, for example, that Croyle set single season school records for most yards (2499) and TDs (16) in his SR season.

Then realize that those performances aren’t even in the top 10 all-time there just 15 years later. And Bo surpassed Croyle’s total yards and tied him in TDs as a TFR, against a significantly tougher schedule.

There’s absolutely no way a QB with Croyle’s collegiate numbers (and his gimpy knees) would get picked in the NFL draft nowadays.
