The Best NCAA Football Player in 2011
Was there ever any doubts? Well maybe. Since Stanford and the weak Pac 12 started with their big hype and big money sponsors and boosters, they were trying to give Andrew Luck the Heisman Trophy in the summer of 2011. Luck is not going to be a super star NFL quarterback. Once a coach has to come out and defend his player and tell the country he is really a good football player, you know there is some problems there. Andrew Luck may go number 1, but he will never be anything on Sundays. My guess is, we are looking at the next Matt Leinert. Your coach won’t have to defend you, if you go out and play like a superstar every game or at least every other game. Mr. Luck from the land of the Cardinal in California, has manage to choke against average competition, from the 1 or 2 teams he saw this year in the NCAA Men’s Football League. He gets one more shot to prove his self in the 2011 Orange Bowl. He will have to face a tough ACC Men’s team and not a boy’s team from the Pac 12. Kirk Herbstreet and Lee Corso feel like the ACC is a weak NCAA football division. Just wait fellers. I can already see it. Luck not impressive against the Virginia Tech Hokies, but head coach still convinced he is the best player and quarterback in college football.
I took a non-bias vote in the Heisman Trophy Award for 2011. The best football player I saw playing on Saturdays, was the QB from Baylor. Robert Griffin III is the type of player, a coach or an NFL GM will want to build their team around. We seen guys like Randall Cunningham, Vince Young, and Michael Vick do their thing on Sundays in the NFL. I think Griffin is more willing to be a true quarterback and will have similar success as these guys. Also, Cam Newton from Auburn is a one man show in Carolina. What NFL franchise would pass on Cam Newton now? Robert Griffin from Baylor is not as big or physical as Cam Newton is, but can make up for that, with his 4.3 speed on the field. He can run just fast enough, to be a everyday QB in the National Football League.
The second best player in the country is a close one. I still like Trent Richardson from Alabama in the number 2 hole, with the LSU Tigers secondary player going 3rd on the list. All 3 guys, Tyrann Mathieu, Trent Richardson, and the 2011 Heisman Trophy Winner, will be solid players for their NFL Teams in the coming years. And without a doubt, all 3 are better than Andrew Luck. Just think of “Leniert” each time you hear the name “Andrew Luck” and you will avoid this Pac 12 QB like the plague. Just watch the Hokies (college football team) take down and knock around this “NFL QB“.
