I watched him make a 60 yard sideline run. He was so fast that I could hear him running (had really good seats) He flew.

Deion Sanders. IT's weird to use the phrase "man playing with boys" in regards to a cornerback, but I remember watching him play and thinking that. It seemed like he could cover the entire secondary. It was honestly like the old Nintendo Techmo Bowl game where one player is twice as fast as everyone else and they just fly around wreaking havoc.
You have to watch a lock down corner in person to really appreciate them, because TV follows the action and opposing teams avoid those guys like the plague.
Oh, and we were also stupid enough to punt to him, which of course her easily returned for a TD.

Javier Arenas was pretty fun to watch but frustrating at the same time

Winner.
Sanders destroyed college offensive gameplans. And in the NFL, he took away half the field. His talent was equaled only by his ego.

Probably Darren McFadden

Unbelievable speed. Lived in Chattanooga and saw him play a few times.
At any level. Mike Vick

Deion Sanders. On a team full of superior athletes, he was on another level. Not sure he had to play in the second half though. I had blocked that game out of my memory until he was mentioned here.
Cam was unstoppable. The one year we win the East and we have to go up against him twice. Bad timing.
McFadden. He may still be running because I'm not sure we ever tackled him.
Gurley. First time we played them he looked average. Think he got 39 yards. He made up for it the next two games and made a believer out of me.
Julio Jones. We couldn't stop him, but thankfully Garcia showed up sober and played out of his mind that day.
Hard to pick just one.

Most games I've been to have been blowouts, so it's really selective. I've watched players who are known to be explosive, but not at that particular day

Cecil Collins was one of the most explosive i saw that hasnt been mentioned. If only he wasnt an idiot.

The Edwards kid, I think his name was, some years ago ... from Georgia. A converted DB. Ended-up blowing a knee out during the off season playing games on ESPN at a beach somewhere.
Wish I could remember his name. The kid was incredible - then poof, it was all over.
Georgia fans, help me remember. May have been twenty years ago, I've lost track of time. I wanna say his name was Edwards?

Somebody remembered Cecil. I smiled. Dang, he blew me away when I watched him in university.
My answer: Manziel. Unfortunately I couldn't see the fireworks because LSU shut A&M down, but what was unappreciated in those games is that he got every inch anyone could have gotten.

I was at 1982 Georgia / Auburn game. Got to watch Herschel Walker and Bo Jackson play in the same game.
