Robert Griffin III Wins 2011 Heisman Trophy

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“.

NFL Mock Draft 2009

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

The NFL or National Football League is about to conduct their draft soon. Many of the top players from the college football season of 2008 will be among the highest possible canididates to get chosen. I love watching the NFL draft every year and Chris Berman does a great job from ESPN. There will be a new start time to the draft this year. Normally the first round gets started at noon on Saturday and this year’s 2009 NFL draft will start at 4 PM Eastern Time. It will begin on April 25th and many NFL fans may be tuning in at noon to watch the draft and see it’s not on. It will start at 4PM this year or 1PM for those living on the West Coast.

Here is a mock draft to this year’s 2009 NFL Draft:

1. Matthew Stafford – Detroit Lions

2. Jason Smith – Los Angeles Rams

3. Aaron Curry – Kansas City Chiefs

4. Michael Crabtree – Seattle Seahawks

5. Eugene Monroe – Cleveland Browns

6. Michael Oher – Cincinnati Bengals

7. B.J. Raji – Oakland Raiders

8. Aaron Maybin – Jacksonville Jaguars

9. Tyson Jackson – Green Bay Packers

10. Brian Orakpo – San Francisco 49ers

11. Malcolm Jenkins – Buffalo Bills

12. Chris Wells – Denver Broncos

13. Andre Smith – Washington Redskins

14. James Laurinaitis – New Orleans Saints

15. Knowshon Moreno – Houston Texans

16. Josh Freeman – San Diego Chargers

17. Mark Sanchez – New York Jets

18. Eben Britton – Denver Broncos

19. Rey Maualuga – Tampa Bay Buccaneers

20. Brian Cushing – Detroit Lions

21. Vontae Davis – Philadelphia Eagles

22. Jeremy Maclin - Minnesota Vikings

23. Robert Ayers – New England Patriots

24. Darius Heyward - Atlanta Falcons

25. Clay Matthews – Miami Dolphins

26. Peria Jerry – Baltimore Ravens

27. Darius Butler – Indianapolis Colts

28. Brandon Pettigrew – Philadelphia Eagles

29. Hakeem Nicks – New York Giants

30. Kenny Britt – Tennessee Titans

31. Eric Wood – Arizona Cardinals

32. Everette Brown – Pittsburgh Steelers

We should see the first round this year go about like that. I think there are several surprises in this year’s draft class. I think Mark Sanchez from USC will drop like a rock in the draft and I really don’t think he’s worth a first round pick for any NFL team. It should be interesting to see how it all unfolds on April 25th. Does this mock draft have a player going to your favorite team that you would like for them to draft? If so, there is a good chance you may just land that nugget in this year’s draft class. Maybe you didn’t like the player chosen in this NFL mock draft, but it’s not official until the 25th gets here, so still time for things to change.
