Tim Brando Names 'Greatest' College Football Player In The Modern Era

what am I missing here?

Tebow

Cam Newton had the greatest season I have ever seen.

Cam Newton period. Took a average at best Auburn team and won a Natty.

Cam Newton, Tim Tebow or Joe Burrow are all above Herschel IMO.

Cam Newton or Reggie Bush. Maybe Vince Young were on a whole other level.

Post 2000 - Tebow

I’d still give the nod to Bo but HW was amazing

HW is the best that I ever saw. Hugh Green was also amazing. Pittsburgh had a lot of talent in a ten year stretch from 74-83.

Herschel Walker has the craziest highlights.

Cam Newton is the most amazing player that I've seen in my lifetime.

On defense I've got Derrick Thomas and Aaron Donald.

Not a fan of the guy, but Tebow used slightly above average QB skills to be a monster. Can't deny that.

Doug Planchard. Nobody hoisted trophies like him.

OK - just google it. They all say HW. How boring this must be for Tim Brando. LINK

Walker's shoulder popped out of joint early during the Sugar Bowl in 1980. They popped it back in and he finished out the game. He was amazing.

I hate to say it, but for one year Cam Newton was unstoppable.

Most folks here have only seen Walker on highlight reels but to see him in action was unreal. Nobody that size had ever had that speed coupled with power. Walkers Heisman year, the UGA Qb threw for 800 yds. Walker was a known commodity, had already finsihed 2nd in the heisman and had no passing offense. He WAS the offense and still nobody could stop him. He literally carried a UGA team to 33-3 record and a national championship.

Herschel was the GOAT. Yes he was better that Bo Jackson in college. UGA had very little threat in passing game and defenses sold out to stop Herschel and still couldn’t do it.

Walker first, Tebow second as far as taking over a game and leading your team to a win.
