Former college football head coach Urban Meyer has never been shy about where Tim Tebow ranks in the history of the sport. On a recent episode of The Triple Option, the three-time national championship coach made the case for his former quarterback again. This time, the focus shifted to managing the circus that surrounded Tebow's storied Florida career.
Meyer called Tebow "a very polarizing figure," which was meant as a compliment. Because in the same breath the former Florida coach said Tebow "was the best player in college football history."

Wonder how Jim Brown could have been if he just focused on college football and not the other college sports he played.

Butkus played both ways. Hell of a fullback. Devastating linebacker.

Oh, barnyard fertilizer.
The GOAT? Bronco Nagurski by acclamation. The name alone sweeps the field without even looking at performance.
Ray Nitzschke is a close second.

The Gators are still trying to tackle him. Funny, that his brother did play for UF.

Danny Wuerffel was pretty good too. And another great example, like Tebow.
