Brad Freeman's All-Time Lifetime College Football Team

So with this August being the start of the 150th anniversary of the start of college football, here’s my all-time team of college football players during my lifetime. I was born in July 1984, so I know the guys from the eighties, nineties, and 2000’s onward.
In
college football there are 85 players on the team under scholarship. Then every
year, somebody graduates, transfers, or there’s walk-on’s. Walk-on’s are guys
that show up for an open tryout as a student-athlete in the spring and summer,
and if they are really good that player gets a full scholarship to pay for all
his academic expenses like the other players who are on full scholarships, and
recruited by the coaching staff straight out of high school.
College
has no preseason, so they start the very last week of August and finish the
season with the national championship game between the 2 best big state schools
around New Year’s.
Note: As you will notice, I’m a much more defense oriented person.

Brad Freeman's All-Time Legends College Football Team

So,
with this August being the start of the 150th anniversary of the start of
college football, here’s my all-time team of college football players before my
lifetime (or at least those I don’t remember watching play college ball, but
instead remember more in the pros because I was too young).
In college football there are 85 players on the team under scholarship.
Then every year, somebody graduates, transfers, or there’s walk-on’s. Walk-on’s
are guys that show up for an open tryout as a student-athlete in the spring and
summer, and if they are really good that player gets a full scholarship to pay
for all his academic expenses like the other players who are on full
scholarships, and recruited by the coaching staff straight out of high school.
College has no preseason, so they start the very last week of August and finish
the season with the national championship game between the 2 best big state
schools around New Year’s.
Note: I’m a much more defense oriented person.
Also, it is important to mention that from 1869 to 1919 college football was the only type of football in existence. Professional football did not start until 1920. The NFL itself did not begin until 1933. And furthermore, every university made its players play both offense and defense. So, each player would play a position on both sides of the ball, much like modern-day high school does. A player playing only one side of the ball did not take hold until 1965, and continued through to the present day.
Lastly, the reason there are a lot more Quarterbacks and Running Backs on my legends list then Wide Receivers and Tight Ends is because from 1869 to 1959 football in general was much more of a running oriented sport on offense, whereas, starting in 1960 and continuing to the present, football became much more of a passing oriented sport on offense. And therefore, the defenses changed accordingly to defend the evolving offenses.

2019 KC Chiefs Projected Offensive Starters Pre-Draft

As we made it to the AFC Championship last year, the offense is pretty set. The defense was the side of the ball we needed to improve upon.
