Like many, I subscribe to many sporting publications. One of my favorite publications is Sporting news. Every year Sporting News comes out with a college football issue. I really like this issue because not only do they break down each conference, but they rank the players at each position. I like to save these issues so I can take a look back at the players they ranked. They don’t rank the players based on how they think they will do in the NFL, but rather how they perform and stack up against their college foes. I thought I would share some of the rankings from the 2006 issue because I think you guys/gals will find it interesting do to some of the names in that magazine.
