Now when it comes to regular NFL football the MVP is always a quarterback and the GOAT is a quarterback, but College Football is a bit different. College football actually understands that people catch the quarterback’s pass and people run the ball down to the one yard line so that the quarterback could run it in. So today I will be talking about who I think the best college football player of all time is.
This time I’m doing it a little bit differently, by not doing the criteria, but by sheer skill of the players. Now I know it will be controversial to not put Joe burrow and Tim Tebow but these people had the talent around them to make them good. The difference between them and the players I’m about to name is that these players created for themselves and their talent did the winning. First I’ll talk about Ashton Jeanty, who plays for a sorry Boise State team and took them to the College Football Playoff. He is breaking we haven’t seen be touched in thirty years with a people stacking the box every down. Now I already hear people saying he’s playing bad competition but he had a legacy game against the number one team in the nation. He definitely deserves to be in the conversation for the best. Next is Reggie Bush who had the Heisman taken away from him but it still doesn’t take away from his talent. Like Jeanty, Bush faced loaded boxes and still put up insane numbers. Also like Jeanty the PAC 10 wasn’t the strongest defensive conference back then but he still played good team and had great performances.
