24/7 Sports has name 50 of best college players ever! Guess who was voted the best of them all?
Yep, non other than Hershel Walker! He may been a good football player (running back) but what a horrible human being and candidate!
I think there was some type chicanery in put this list together?
Walker, the best ever? I am sure there are much better players!
Story from 24/7 Sports.

(1,202 posts)He was also a damn good sprinter and arguably, the fastest man of his bodyweight/size of all time. But otherwise, yeah I agree.

So when Walker was told did he mumble something about a stolen election?

(13,812 posts)Walker was fast and could out run ever, but that was it. The others who were better had the vision and agility to out smart the defenses.

Gotta add Bo Jackson in football. This is as college athletes, right?

(82,849 posts)But then I see a clip of him faking out one, two, even three or four guys before passing to a teammate for an easy basket, and I remember: "Oh yeah, that guy was pretty good." Hell, he even faked me out, and I was sitting on the couch.

(113,085 posts)People forget that Tom Brady only tied the record for most NFL Championships by a QB.
Otto Graham won 7 titles, and played in the championship game EVERY year of his career.
He also held the record for highest QB rating at 112, until Joe Montana posted a better QBR.

(113,085 posts)I would definitely put him on my list for pro football.

(11,821 posts)...Had he played 4 seasons, he would no doubt be the GOAT of college running backs. But to name Walker the best college player ever? Silly.

The Texas Longhorn Dynasty replaces Alabamas decade of dominance.
