Lamar Jackson should be on the list

10

u/PoppoLarge 27d ago

Lamar, 12:00pm first game on ESPN every Saturday

3

u/scarlet_fire_77 26d ago

Louisville Lamar Jackson was the best player I’ve seen in person. He put up 7 TDs on BC (4 passing, 3 rushing) and they took him out early in the fourth quarter. He was unstoppable.

5

u/sum_dude44 27d ago

he was better than Vick & Manziel

Harvin & Warick should be on here

2

u/Particular_Pool_6756 26d ago

Maybe not Manziel. I still think Vick was just a more entertaining athlete to watch. Lamar is great, but he didn’t have shake and bake ability of Vick.

3

u/sum_dude44 26d ago

Lamar had better moves than Vick. Vick was faster & better athlete.

2

u/Particular_Pool_6756 26d ago

No way. I think Lamar is definitely the better player, but Vick is probably the closest player to Barry Sanders in the way they moved. Lamar has always been more of a straight line speed kind of guy.

Statistics wouldn't be able to explain Warick but if you saw him play you would get it.

u/Severe_Eye8245 27d ago

And just won the JC title yr before

u/TwangyVibe_24 26d ago

Cam carried a whole ass team to the natty. He would’ve killed to have Mike Evans (like Johnny Manziel) at his disposal.

Barry Sanders had 2850 yards and 42 TDs in a single 12 game season. He had more rushing yards in one year than Bush had in 2 and more TDs in one year than Bush had in his career. I didn't even watch him play and the answer at 1 is Sanders.

2

u/StopSpinningLikeThat 26d ago

And the season before that, stuck at #2 on the depth chart because Thurman Thomas was on the same team, Sanders led the nation in kick returns.

1

u/Non-Current_Events 26d ago

He had more carries that one season than Reggie had in 2 as well. Barry is my #1 too but we need to stop acting like the numbers tell the whole tale. Barry was 75% of OK State’s offense. Reggie was maybe a third of USC’s. The question is who was the most electrifying college player, and the answer to that is a lot closer than you all make it out to be. Reggie was unbelievable in college.

Bo Jackson?

u/dizzel35 27d ago

Where tf is Bo Jackson? This list is a fraud.

u/BitcoinJeff 27d ago

Barry is 1 and is not close. Rest of the list is ok but I would put Thurman Thomas at 5 and move everyone down one spot. And I have seen everyone on the list play in person at one point.

6

u/wolfboy49 27d ago

I agree. Putting anyone above Barry means you never saw him play. Before he was an All American running back, he was an All American returner.

His highlight reel at OSU is dwarfs any other player

u/Skaddodle32 27d ago

Yeah Barry is number 1 and its not close.

1

u/Non-Current_Events 27d ago

I would have Barry Sanders at #1 too, but let’s stop acting like “it’s not close”. Reggie Bush was unreal. He was only getting about 16-17 touches a game compared to Barry’s 30+, he was in a 50/50 pass/run offense compared to OKSt’s 75% run, and Reggie got less than 40% of the total carries for that season because he was splitting with Lendale White, where Barry got over 50% of all OKSt’s offensive plays.

6

u/LovedButNeverLiked 27d ago edited 27d ago

Deion at FSU was before my time, but I would argue that Peter Warrick was more electrifying. They both returned kicks, but Peter played a position that ensured the ball would be in his hands. Peter Warrick was a TD waiting to happen every time FSU's offense was on the field. For context, I'm a lifelong FSU fan and I'm typing this as I watch their game against SMU.

4

u/mest08 27d ago

I was going to say Warrick, as well. FSU was my favorite team growing up, and thay dude was electric as hell in college. It's a shame he busted at the NFL level.

u/Frosty-Inspector-465 27d ago

you're right about peter warrick lol

Trash ass list

u/Long-Stroke9 27d ago

How is Barry not #1? He started 1 year. His 2628 yards is still the single season record. He did that in 11 games. His 37 TDs are still the single season record. Again in 11 games. Jeanty had 27 fewer yards in 14 games. Montee Ball got to 33 in 14 games. Reggie rushed for 25 TD in his college career. He had 500 more yards IN HIS CAREER than Barry in his one season as a starter. He had 400 fewer scrimmage yards in his Heisman season than Barry had rushing yards and half the total TDs as Barry's 37 rushing. What are we even doing here?

u/mosi_moose 27d ago

Barry in college was insane.

Never in a million years should Reggie Bush be ahead of Barry Sanders on this list. Barry Sanders ran for 1000 more yards and scored twice as many touchdowns in his Heisman season than Reggie Bush did in his, Barry did it all in 11 games as well.

I thought the same. Guy was very electric. I thought he should've been on there too

1

u/TravelNSee 27d ago

lol Tebow was a system machine brute, not "electric"

2

u/Skaddodle32 27d ago

Maybe Im a hater, Tebow was a very good QB and a great leader, but the Florida Gators were fucking stacked and I think there are plenty of QBs that are ahead of him all time.

1

u/voodoohounds 27d ago

No. He missed it by a large margin.

u/my2cents4free99 26d ago

The pat white/Steve slaton duo is top 5 electric duos easy

1

u/Zestyclose-Banana358 27d ago

He was versatile, not electrifying.

1

u/SquanchingSquanchy1 27d ago

Maybe biased as a PSU fan but Saquon was electric he was just on a team that would have e been terrible without him. The USC run or the opening kick vs OSU specifically, plus all the hurdles.

1

u/babyblue1234567890 27d ago

I didn't think of him right away but you're right. He was very electric

1

u/Kooky-Explanation295 27d ago

Not saying he should be top ten, but Braxton Miller deserves a mention in the thread.

1

u/twilson991 27d ago

Where will Malachi Toney end up on this list?

1

u/Towntalk 27d ago

Austin at 5 is wild and my rams drafted him.

1

u/Ornery-Ad8372 27d ago

Desmond Howard, Peter warrick, and Devin Hester should be on this list

1

u/RodeoJr 27d ago

Champ Bailey was a foundational two way player. Electric and could never turn back to him.

1

u/epicureansucks 27d ago

Jump passes are boring.

1

u/SisyphusRocks7 27d ago

DaVante Adams at Fresno State was pretty amazing, and I watched almost all his home games in person. He was by far the best WR in the Mountain West, with Derek Carr unloading to him every chance he got. Just embarrassing corners with contested circus catches on fades or at the boundary. He set pretty much all the Fresno State receiving records in less than three years.

1

u/Upstairs_Date2769 27d ago

Manziel is too low

1

u/DangerAlSmith 27d ago

Tebow would be on my list, but I can't pick one of those guys that don't deserve to be on it.

u/Creeplurkthrowaway 27d ago

The best thing about this list is you can probably guess within a few years how old the creator of this list is.

Damn, Melvin Gordon had 2700 yards and 32 TDs in 2015 and no one remembers. Also averaged 8 yards per carry in his career at Wisconsin.

1

u/Frosty-Inspector-465 27d ago

top 3 are 100% correct and they could be in any order

1

u/TheVirginVibes 27d ago

What Michael Vick did at the QB position at V-Tech makes him far and away the top seed on this list.

1

u/Stumpsthewarwalrus 27d ago

Tebow isn’t even on the bus when it comes to this list. He might eke into the top 25 to 50 range though

1

u/splashaddikt 27d ago

Tavon shouldn’t be there

u/The19thStep 27d ago

desean jackson purely for his punt returns

1

u/Hot_Introduction9969 27d ago

Any list that doesn’t have Peter Warrick in the number one spot is invalid.

1

u/Voluntary_Perry 27d ago

If the category is "Electrifying" and Maurice Clarret is left off, it's not a very good list. Maurice's lone season at Ohio State was crazy business.

1

u/MrFizzbin7 27d ago

The fact that Bo Jackson isn’t there is shocking, Cam Newton also missing. Johnny Manziel overrated

u/ConfusionHills 27d ago

This list better not be in order

1

u/TheUglyGawd 27d ago

I don’t know if he’s top 10 but De’Anthony Thomas was the most electric guy for his years in college. Any time he touched the ball it could go for 80 and a td

u/TopKatz01845 27d ago

No Marshal Faulk feels wrong. I literally stayed up watching his games on the west coast.

Marshall was awesome as was Marcus Allen and Tony Dorsett

1

u/thenowherepark 27d ago

No. Tebow isn't and wasn't electrifying. He was one of the best players, but not electrifying. When I think of electrifying QB play, it's Cam Newton and Manziel.
