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?

Initial top 10 - 2017 NFL Draft

These are my initial top 10 players in the 2017 NFL Draft. I've got 3 months until my rankings will be finalized so relax if you have huge issues with my grades or rankings at this point because they will likely change. 1.       Myles Garrett – Edge, Texas A&M 96 Simply the best player in this draft class. Garrett is a smooth and electric pass rusher with a bevy of moves and styles. He can lull you to sleep off the line at times and then run through you. His ability to convert speed to power and bulrush is as good as any player I’ve scouted. The reason he’s the best player in this class though is that not only can he be a game wrecker getting after the quarterback, but he is very solid against the run. Garrett can set the edge on first and second down and then make game changing plays on third down. His comparison in the NFL is Von Miller, although I think Miller was a bit more explosive rushing the passer and not quite as good against the run. ...
