At least get the B10 guys!  No one has even ventured a guess to Michigan's RB who finished 3rd in the Heisman voting!

He wasn't especially good in college.  Like Tom Brady.
Then you didn't see the 2000 Orange Bowl. Bama had no answer for Brady. The 1999 Bama that beat UF twice.

That's one game.  Objectively, his college career was unremarkable.  There's a reason he was a 6th round pick.

I hate when a player's NFL exploits bleed into his college reputation.  They can both stay separate and valid and real.  No need to blur the two.

completely different things in my opinion

success in the NFL can hinge on many factors - drafted by the Browns or Patriots?

I threw up a full court shot guess on J. Morris for the Michigan RB,  that's not right of course.
