A year that marks some exceptional performances has two standouts among the field of candidates. Tebow & McFadden separated themselves from their peers. In a two man race, Tebow's tools, stats, and on field presence during the game give him a slight edge. Tebow has all the attributes that NFL scouts salivate over and he's not even eligible for the draft yet. McFadden will certainly be an impact player in the NFL.
This year marks a year in which the recipient could actually be a mainstay in the NFL. How many times has the running back or quarterback petered out of the league after only a few years? A player that was good at the colligate level, but fell short at the pro level. There's something special about these two student athletes.
An honorable mention should include Matt Ryan, who also should make one lucky NFL team searching for a quarterback very happy. He stayed all four years and improved his skills. Ryan called his own plays and stayed despite a change at the coaching position. He's even had the ability to bring his team back for a late charging victory at the end of a game.
We'll know the outcome tonight at 8 PM.
