This list is criminal. AJ McCarron probably doesn't even belong on this list but most of those Bama players do.

Burrow is just better than Tebow. Gurley should ve been top ten. If he stayed healthy he would have given HW34s records a run.

Unless I missed it, 2 receivers who should be on that list are AJ Green and Justin Jefferson imo.

Honey Badger at 45 makes that whole list suspect.

Honestly Burrow and Newton are 1/2. I'd be ok with Tebow at 3. List does a pretty god job, but some are headscratchers.

Prescott at 50 while Manziel is 15 is a fricking joke.

Dak was a beast of an athlete in college and would have won a Natty at a program with more talent.

They factoring in NFL careers with Julio and Chase.


No College Wide Reciever had the career Devonta Smith did

Feel like Josh Allen could’ve made this list. He won about every defensive award an Edge rusher could win

-#2 in SEC for most sacks in a season
-#3 for most sacks all time, just .5 from being tied for #1

who from your team is too high and too low:

Ala
too high: AJ
too low: Rolando McClain

usually lists suck. That seems fairly solid.

How can Von Miller be on the list when he didn’t play a single game as an SEC player?

Cam Newton is #1 and there’s really no debating it. He’s the greatest athlete ever in the SEC.

And for anyone ripping his dress attire, I give you Joe McCauley Culkin Burrow trying to copy him.
