Everyone is until they aren’t.

I've seen him play a couple of times, but against such a low level of competition, it is hard to get a feel for how good he actually is.

 

[Motodawg]

I think this would be the year to do something like that, imo. There’s no for sure number 1 guy on a number 1 team.

 

[Rupert Jenkins]

He is playing very good but as stated above, competition level drags him down. What could Will do playing against the SWAC ? He really needs to transfer to Auburn or some SEC team.

If you ask them, then........yeah.

It's hard to comprehend just how bad the SWAC is. The conference is 11-24 OOC this year, and it's not like they're scheduling up. JSU's non-conference wins are over 1-4 TN State and 0-5 Grambling (apparently they couldn't find a bad enough team outside the SWAC to play so they played a SWAC school as a non-conference game). If he wasn’t Deion’s son, he wouldn’t be a candidate.

 

[Water Dawg]

He did not look that good against MRA a few years back.

 

[Lucifer Morningstar]

In a simple word, nah.

Always thought it was more of a big fish in a small pond routine, but didn’t know if the journalist was being a homer or if there was any type of legitimacy. Hell, the kid isn’t playing football, he’s using it as a springboard for NIL deals.

If the SEC’s leading passer isn’t a legit candidate until he beats UGA/Bama, I’m fine with saying 17 no to this kid until he at least actually plays someone worth a damn

 

[The Cooterpoot]

His chances are better than mine.

 

[QuaoarsKing]

No, but he should be a solid candidate for the Walter Payton Award, which is the FCS equivalent of the Heisman

He's also playing WITH swac wrs and linemen. So the competition level doesn't necessarily drag him down. Because if he was an SEC level player, he'd be doing SEC level things, like Steve McNair did.

I honestly have no clue what he's done, I haven't read a word a watched of minute of JSU football. My comment is meant in general.

 

[OopsICroomedmypants]

I’ll say this. I’ve watched him play some. If you watch only highlights you’d say dang that cat is pretty freaking good. On the other hand, I tried to watch a game and it was so bad I changed the channel after a while. I wanted to enjoy it, but I couldn’t believe how bad the football was. Short, fat rb’s, skinny and slow wr’s, sloooowww DLineman, terrible o-lineman. Then there is the occasional great player. JSU has a few. Are they really that good or the tallest midget? To me, Sanders would not be head and shoulders above many QB’s in D1. He has a long wind up it seems, but has a nice arm and can throw back shoulder. Doesn’t make quick reads or look off defenders well.

 

[Rupert Jenkins]

The level of talent in the defensive backfield make a huge difference. Other talent deficiencies do also. Ask any college QB that struggled in the transition from college to the NFL. Better DBs bat away or intercept that floater

#2 BBQ is an unfortunate name

 

[Cantdoitsal]

Does the SWAC still put a decent amount of players in the league?

Looks like 6 SWAC players in the NFL this year.

I was thinking there would be more or maybe there used to be more. Thanks for the info. Maybe P5's learned their lessons from Air McNair, Rice & Payton.

Gibbs or Stroud is the Heisman winner. Hooker has a chance.

PSA - Deion himself is going to be on 60 Minutes this Sunday night. That should be an interesting interview.
