Lonely At The Top Pt.2

2005#1Derrick Williams- So called “World Class Athlete” wasn’t too electric at Penn State but still productive. It was probably the mid west air that robbed him of his playmaking ability. That or Joe Paterno’s 1921 Notre Dame Box offense. (Kidding) He was still a part of the class that brought Penn State back, so no complaints here.

2004#1 Adrian Peterson- I can’t say many platitudes about AP that haven’t already been said. He may be  the greatest recruit in the Rivals.com era and has had a sparkling NFL career.Play on playa.

2003#1 Ernie Sims- you may not remember his name- I certainly didn’t- but Sims was a big deal in 2K3.He ended up as a productive 2-year starter at FSU, and has been okay for the Lions in the NFL. Fun Fact: Sims was on his High School’s varsity team..in Eight Grade!
2002#1 Vince Young- The one that started it all, Vince was very erratic at Texas before putting it together his Junior Season. NFL hijinks aside, he more than delivered on the hype.


There you have it, the college version of the Madden cover curse. Note to Mothers: Don’t Let your babies grow up to be 5-Star recruits, or anything involving a team coached by Lane Kiffin. (Dude is bad luck)
