Tebow Greatest Ever?

9. January 2009  - Published by Dan Clasgens

Fresh off of yet another BCS Title the debate continues, is Tim Tebow the greatest college players ever? 

Barry Sanders was basically a one-and-done guy at Oklahoma State, where he set the single-season rushing record and left after his junior season. Sammy Baugh was an innovator. Herschel Walker bulldozed the way for the Bulldogs. The best comparison to Tebow might be to modern-day greats -- Vince Young and Tommie Frazier. Both won championships. Both were option guys. Young is considered by many to be the best player in Texas history.

As for Tebow, in this media-exposed world, he is well on his way to becoming the greatest college-football player in history.

Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel-Times stated his case in his column on Friday.

"He has two national titles, a Heisman Trophy and third-place finish in the Heisman. Just think if he stays for his senior season and the Gators go into next year as the preseason No.1 team in the country," Bianchi wrote. "Tebow could conceivably leave UF with three national titles and two Heismans. The media has helped create him and in today's world he's certainly the most hyped college football player ever?"

The fourth-best quarterback in the Big 12?

More like the greatest college football player in history. He may not amount to much of a player in the NFL, but the memories he has provided won't fade away.  Let's just hope we get one more year of him.
