Re: College Football
here are position ratings from NFLdraftscout (i'm omitting the blurbs)
QB: 1. Brady Quinn, Notre Dame, 6-4, 230, SR: Quinn was already considered one of the nation's more gifted quarterbacks before coach Charlie Weis was hired in 2005 to resurrect Notre Dame's proud tradition. The combination of Weis' tutelage and Quinn's natural talents made for a good fit from the start. In 12 starts in 2004, Quinn threw for 2,586 yards and a respectable 17-10 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Last year, however, Quinn was arguably the best quarterback in the country, passing for 3,919 yards and 32 touchdowns compared to only seven interceptions. Quinn has the classic blend of size, arm strength and tenacity pro scouts are looking for in a franchise quarterback. His ability to adapt so quickly to Weis' complicated offensive scheme speaks volumes about his work ethic and understanding of the game. Quinn enters next season not only as the top-ranked quarterback in the country, but the odds-on favorite to be the first player selected in the 2007 NFL Draft. 2. Drew Stanton, Michigan State, 6-3, 222, SR: 3. Pat White, West Virginia, 6-2, 185, rSO: 4. Jordan Palmer, Texas El-Paso, 6-5, 232, SR: 5. Brian Brohm, Louisville, 6-4, 224, JR: 6. Troy Smith, Ohio State, 6-1, 205, SR: 7. Chad Henne, Michigan, 6-2, 225, JR: 8. Kevin Kolb, Houston, 6-3, 224, SR: 9. Chris Leak, Florida, 6-0, 210, SR: 10. JaMarcus Russell, LSU, 6-5, 252, JR: RB: 1. 1. Adrian Peterson, Oklahoma, 6-2, 218, JR: Adrian Peterson will claim his status as the nation's top collegiate running back with Reggie Bush off to the NFL. There are some who feel Peterson would have been the top back in the country in 2006 even if Bush had remained with the Trojans for his senior season. Peterson signed with Oklahoma as an elite prep talent, and it didn't take him long to live up to the hype. As a true freshman, Peterson finished with an OU-record 1,925 rushing yards despite starting just eight games. He finished second in the Heisman voting as a true freshman, the highest any freshman has ever ranked in the Heisman polling. Unfortunately, Peterson was hampered by an ineffective passing offense and injuries in 2005. With quarterback Jason White graduating, the Sooners were led into battle by Rhett Bomar, and opposing defenses were able to crowd the line of scrimmage. That slowed Peterson considerably, and a nagging ankle sprain was even more bothersome. The injury caused Peterson to miss all or more than half of four games in 2005. He still led all Big 12 backs with 1,024 yards and once again earned consensus All-Big 12 honors. He possesses a spectacular combination of size, speed, strength and is a natural, fluid runner who can change directions easily. 2. Michael Bush, 6-2, 248, Louisville, SR: 3. Kenny Irons, Auburn, 5-11, 202, SR: 4. Brian Leonard, Rutgers, 6-2, 235, SR: 5. Marshawn Lynch, California, 5-11, 215, JR: 6. Lorenzo Booker, Florida State, 5-11, 195, SR: 7. Garrett Wolfe, Northern Illinois, 5-07, 174, SR: 8. Steve Slaton, West Virginia, 5-10, 185, So: 9. Darius Walker, Notre Dame, 5-11, 200, JR: 10. Tyrell Sutton, Northwestern, 5-09, 190, So: |
