Seminole44 Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 I should note that he doesn't include injured players and juniors on this board.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I was wondering where Peterson was. Tim Crowder will be in top 15 much less top 25. Is Meachem not a SR? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seminole44 Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 Crowder was in his Top 25 at the beginning of the season....he comes out with a new one each month...I think Meachem is a junior, or Kiper might think that he's not a great pro prospect....

coachb Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 troy smith is going to win the heisman and he is not on any of these lists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seminole44 Posted October 28, 2006 Author Share Posted October 28, 2006 Are you saying that he should be? I don't know if Troy Smith is that great a Pro Prospect, he's small for a pro QB, and I'm not sure he's as accurate or polished as others. Besides we all know that winning the Heisman doesn't equal Pro ability, see--- Jason White, Danny Weurffuel, Ty Detmer, etc etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smoaky Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 If reference to no Adrian Peterson... Most of these lists, "for now", don't include underclassmen---things will change as the college season winds down... Smoaky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
