#20 from the University of Texas EARL CAMPBELL is glaringly missing from first team!

Brock Bowers is heavy recency bias. I’d still take VY over Tebow. Tebow had a better overall team around him and Vince wouldn’t have been denied a conference or national championship in his final year like Tebow was.

Clearly people need to be outraged over the punter

I’ll clarify this to say I think Tebow probably had a better offense around him. Our defense was probably as good or better than Florida’s.

Nah they probably got it right. Barry Sanders is obvious, and Hershel Walker rushed for over 1500 yards with close to 150 YPG three straight seasons in a more respected league. Earl Campbell was a better pro though.

The omission of Tommy Nobis is all kinds of wrong.

Pretty good list but give me Tommy Nobis over Spielman and Reggie Bush over Johnny Rodgers

Tim Tebow the all time best QB?  Are you f'ing kidding me???

[Tuco Ramirez]

Also, what is Chris Spielman doing on this list?

There's no way that he was better than Derrick Johnson at LB.

Spielman wasn't even the first linebacker from Ohio State to get drafted in 1988.

Who are these voters?? Bronko Nagurski???

(Read about Nagurski- he was primarily running back and only played defensive tackle part time.)

dallas  clark at TE was a problem for everyone.  

[Titleist8412]

Randy Moss was awesome, but if you removed his pro career from everyone’s memory, he isn’t making this list.

TE Keith Jackson of OU

WR Michael Irvin of Miami

WR Irving Fryar of NU

LB Lawrence Taylor of UNC

[Aspann85]

I think some guys only made the list because they had awards named after them. There have definitely been better players than some of those guys. I won’t name names but they should be obvious.

Agree about Nobis.  Rodgers and Bush are a wash.

Joe Burrow or Vince Young over Tebow all day everyday

My first thought. Also tough to see Earl, Ricky, and DJ left off completely.

Anyone who watched Tony Dorsett play might make an argument for him.  Though no one would want to agree O.J. Simpson was awesome at USC.  His run against UCLA in 1967 during the fourth quarter was one of the best plays I have ever seen.
