    The Boz was smart though

    Boz also I believe won at the college level
    Boz was an animal in college, a ticking time bomb with a lot of mileage on his body already coming out of Oklahoma. Yet never forget:

    National champion (1985)
    Heisman Trophy finalist (1986)
    2× Butkus Award (1985, 1986)
    2× Unanimous All-American (1985, 1986)
    3× All-Big Eight (1984–1986)
    That’s a resume that would be drooled upon down South

    Selling Broncos fans those anti Boz shirts was hilarious! Dude turned their hate for him into cash in his wallet. Classic

    The two Pac 12 title games in 2019 and 2020 made his career at Oregon. Oregon doesn’t win those two games without him.

    Everett Thompson, no?

    I'm impressed with myself for remembering, if I'm indeed correct.

    Thompson was all but invisible as an underclassman. I remember people clamoring for him to play, then being nonplussed when he did. He was pretty solid when he moved inside as an upperclassman. He was OK outside as a contain DE, but wasn't quick enough to be much of an outside rusher.

    Smalls has the coming season to show me something before I give up on him. He's still an underclassman.

    There's never been a more over-hyped and over-promoted player

    Who are your top 5?
    Hackenburg is up there.
    Race has it right. The rest of you are wrong.

    There’s plenty of metrics to look at as to why he’s so good and has been good.
    I think he's good and hasn't failed relative to the hype. He does seem like a fuck bag to me though for whatever that's worth.
    That's the right take. I'm not sure I'd want to coach him at the college level. In the NFL his fuckbaggery will stand out less and he'll have to be very, very good to get away with it.
