My Heisman vote

1. Ndamokong Suh DT - Nebraska. This award goes to the best player in college football, not to the MVP, not to the one who the voters know about, it's supposed to go to THE BEST PLAYER in college football. There isn't a better player than Suh. He dominates the game more than any other person in the nation and should be the top pick in the NFL draft. Without Suh Nebraska might not even make a bowl game, so if you wanna go MVP Suh's there too.

2. Toby Gerhart RB - Stanford. People on the east coast where most of the votes go will vote for Mark Ingram over Gerhart, but if you look at numbers, Gerhart has better numbers by far than Ingram. Gerhart beat USC and Oregon with tough games, consistent games. The most consistently high performer in the country, Gerhart should be on everyone's list.

3. C.J. Spiller RB - Clemson. A human highlight reel. The guy does almost everything on a football field. He's a top 5 returner and running back, can catch passes and make blocks. The guy is an absolute stud and has the numbers to back up this spot on my list.

4. Josh Nesbitt QB - Georgia Tech. Unsung hero on a BCS team, every single yard this team gets goes through Nesbitt. He throws, runs, and makes every read in that triple option attack. He gets in the endzone and moves the chains. GT has the fewest three and outs in the nation and a large part of that is because of Nesbitt.

5. Mark Ingram RB - Alabama. He's a tough runner and was the focal point the entire season on the best team in the country. Ingram is a great player and does a little bit of everything, but his bread and butter is pounding the rock inside. The guy deserves a ton of praise, and will probably actually win the award, but he's only number 5 on my list.


GUYS LEFT OFF:

Tim Tebow - he simply wasn't that good this season. If people think he will be a good quarterback in the NFL they are badly mistaken. He is a good gimmick qb, but he's not a good thrower and gets most of his passing yards on shovel passes, flat swings, and bubbles. Simply doesn't deserve a vote.

Colt McCoy - he started the year slowly and the Nebraska game was embarrassing. He should have won the award last year, but in my opinion doesn't even get a vote from me. He played well, but if i was going to pick someone off of that team for the Heisman it would be Jordan Shipley and not Colt McCoy.

Case Keenum - He's a system quarterback. Yeah he put up good numbers, but his team lost 3 games and he simply didn't do enough. I know Nesbitt is a system quarterback too, but Nesbitt does EVERYTHING for his team, and GT is going to a BCS game.

Kellen Moore - He deserves a look, his TD/INT is remarkable, but Boise State does quite a bit without Moore through running the rock. Also Moore played against poor competition and when he did play a good team in Oregon, he put up pedestrian numbers. He'd be sixth on my ballot though.

Any thoughts?

2024 NFL DRAFT PROSPECT BIOS

  2024 NFL DRAFT PROSPECT BIOS  Extra notes I put in italics. Some of these are from Senior Bowl or Combine notes that may have caused an update, and some are from watching extra tape later on in the Pre-Draft Process and I didn’t want to type everything up again.  Blue are guys I’m higher on by at least one round and usually 2 or 3 rds than consensus. Marvin Harrison Jr, WR Ohio State 99 I’m not trying to be contrarian here by putting Harrison Jr first ahead of Williams and Maye. The thing is my ratings are not positioned based when I do Bios and Harrison is the 2nd best prospect I’ve ever scouted (behind only Andrew Luck) so he has to get this rating. Harrison Jr is going to walk into the NFL and be a top 10 WR immediately. He has perfect size at 6’4 and 215 pounds and yet is a truly elite route runner. He creates separation and can get in and out of breaks like someone 6 inches shorter. His acceleration and ability to leave defenders looking lost is a rare trait. On to...

2020 NFL Player Rankings

NFL PLAYER RATINGS 2020 Every single year Madden comes out with player ratings and it puts everyone up in arms over how their individual guys are rated. You get people upset about their overall rating in the game, speed, cover ability, and everything in between. That said, the game and player’s overall abilities in the game are just simply not accurate enough. I decided that from now on, every year I’m going to build my own player ratings and list them out, giving ratings from 99 down. This isn’t a lifetime achievement award, or how good I think they’ll be in 3 years, this is for this season, without position importance just simply how good of a player each guy is period. End of story. Get ready to yell and disagree, but at least enjoy the reading. 99 - Patrick Mahomes, QB Kansas City This one is pretty damn obvious right? The guy has an MVP and.a Super Bowl and is only heading into year 4. I think he has a chance to be the greatest quarterback who ever played the game a...

2020 NFL Draft Player Profiles

1. Chase Young, DE Ohio State 99 I haven’t given 99s often in my career as an evaluator but this one was easy. This is the 9th draft board I’ve done from beginning to end and only the 3rd 99 grade I’ve ever given out, (Andrew Luck and Saquan Barkley were the other two). Young is an incredible player and an outstanding athlete who was the best player in the nation this season. As impressive as Nick Boss was as a rookie in 2019, Young was clearly the better player in college and the better pro prospect. Young averaged more than a sack a game over the past two seasons, and his explosive get off, power, and elite technique lead me to projecting him as a double digit sack artist as early as his rookie year.  What makes Young such an elite prospect isn’t just his innate ability to get after the quarterback in whatever way he wants, its that he can create havoc in the run game as well. His speed and ability to close from the back side is in the top tier, and therefore he’s th...
