Sure, there have been plenty of examples -- there have also been plenty of examples of guys who weren't ready yet. You also have to evaluate the teams those kids were on. If we had to start a redshirt Freshman on last year's Michigan team -- fine. We had a senior line, with senior receivers and a senior RB. It's totally different this year.There have been a ton of RS Freshman/Freshman to start in the last 4 seasons or so. Manziel, Winston, Barrett, Kizer, Hurts, Darnold, Browning, Rosen, Watson, Francois, Lamar Jackson, Josh Jackson, Daniel Jones, Hornibrook, Herbert, Frohm, Bentley to name a few. Playing early happens a lot these days.
