Winston was fantastic in 2013 but he threw a shitload of INTs the next year.

Really MS is a 3 headed Man
Walter Payton
Jerry Rice
Brett Favre
I know they had Jerry at the top but the other two could be as well. 1A, 1AA, 1AAA.
Walter is my all time favorite though.
He set the standard.

This list is completely tainted by their professional careers.
It's a mixed bag. If the list was going simply by professional careers, Bo Jackson would not be representing Alabama. It would probably be John Hannah or maybe even Julio Jones.

Wistrom was from my hometown of Joplin. Played at Webb city HS. Webb is a powerhouse for its size

To be honest, Archie had the best college career. People think of him now as Peyton and Eli's dad, but he was a sensation in college.
Payton and Rice were very good players at very small schools, but not superstars. They became legends in the pros. Steve McNair, also small school, was UNREAL in college. People were tuning into Alcorn State games (instead of SEC game of the week) to watch him play. Finished 3rd in Heisman and first team All American.

True story. I was with a buddy one saturday and I didn't know who Steve McNair was. We were walking past a school in Jackson, MS called Chastain. Bunch of guys were playing football of ages 16-20 I guess. I guess he was in town visiting family or friends.
Anyway we were asked if we wanted to play and we said yes. So my buddy went to one side and I went to the other. McNair asked me if I played football and if so what. I said I can play receiver or DB because I was fast but I prefer to run the ball. He told me to go out for a deep pass. First play, over the shoulder TD. I will never forget (because we were the only two white guys playing) and several guys said "He's a player, he's a player."
It sounds like I am tooting my own horn but I'm just telling you what happened. One of the guys from the other team asked me how it felt to catch a TD from Steve McNair. I knew the name but would never have known if not for that.
We eventually took a break as several went to go buy food for everyone and some water and softdrinks etc. During that time I got to talk with Steve for a while when I could. He was very popular as you can imagine. You never forget something like that.
