Message: [QUOTE="texascpa, post: 1249173, member: 468"] I'm going to throw out Steve McNair. Yes, he played in 1AA. But how many 1AA's have ever been picked in the Top 3 of the NFL draft, or received enough votes to place 3rd in the Heisman? He won the 1AA's version of the Heisman (Walter Payton Award). Sophomore - 3,541 passing yards 39 TDs (throwing and running) Junior - over 3,000 yards passing and 30 passing TDs. Senior - NCAA record 5,799 yards, 59 total TD's, 155.4 QBR and placed third in the Heisman vote...as a 1AA player! Overall, he finished with 14,500 passing yards, threw 119 tD's, had over 2,400 yards rushing and 33 rushing TD's. Passing yards and total yards are still FCS records (and holds a couple other records) and his passing was less than 100 yards shy of the FBS record. [/QUOTE]
