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...

2021 NFL Draft Prospect Write Ups

  2021 NFL DRAFT PROSPECT WRITE UPS Trevor Lawrence, QB Clemson 99 Lawrence is the best quarterback prospect since Andrew Luck and he’s only the second quarterback I’ve ever given the elusive 99 rating. Lawrence has only lost two games his entire career at Clemson as the starter there and has been nothing short of incredible. He has great size at 6’6 and around 225 pounds with plus movement skills. When he scrambles his long strides pick up yards in chunks. He has a big time arm that can show equal parts touch and howitzer depending on the situation. Lawrence throws a beautiful deep ball as well and has exceptional pocket awareness. Ultimately he’s someone who if you give him the pieces can be one of the best at his position in the NFL and potentially of all time. He has that type of ability. What makes Lawrence so incredible is that he can create big plays without taking unnecessary risks. He has 90 touchdowns with just 17 interceptions in his career and added on 18 touchdowns on ...

2014 overall grades

1.           Jadeveon Clowney, DE South Carolina 98 Some people may ask about his productivity or his work ethic but no one can question his talent. The former number one high school player in the country is now the number one draft prospect. He has a completely unique skill set at his size running a 4.5 40 with an 82 inch wingspan. He has a rare speed to power move that can absolutely dominate blockers. He has more much more speed than Mario Williams and more size than Dwight Freeney. A complete freak that can’t be stopped by double teams, he could be the best defensive player in the league within a year or two. 2.        Greg Robinson, OT Auburn 98 People who are 332 pounds should not run 4.8 40’s. As much as Clowney is a physical anomaly so too is Robinson. He is one of the most dominating players at the point of attack that I’ve ever watched, and I’m not just talking about college players. He is a bit raw in h...
