CFB players that were bigger than the game.

Two of the highest rated sports documentaries 25 years later beg to differ.

Reggie hasn't hit 25 years yet he'll get one

Yes. He will be featured on the "USC Dynasty of the 2000s"

ESPN 30 for 30 The death penalty part 2

Bush had more hype than AP in college AP needed a switch to make TMZ

...No mention of Tom Brady yet?

Spoiler

Dammit, wrong thread!

That concept would remove Boz and Marinovich from the list tho. Their stars collapsed when they hit the NFL

Not really. People still continue to talk about them and their stories even today. 20 years from now, people will remember Bush for being a really good college RB, and that's about it. Some might point out how he banged some dumb celebrity for 5 minutes.

Exactly. Reggie is happenin' @ this point. His ex Kim KardASSian even said she would leave her husband to hook up w/ him again.

One could say her ass is bigger than the game IMO

@WhiteMamba I'm trying to explain it to these guys, so tell me if this is what you were getting at -

While Reggie Bush was in college, he was a huge story because he was a superstar athlete and wildly successful. Once he went into the NFL, his star faded.

While Tim Tebow and Johnny Manziel were in college, they were huge stories because they were superstar athletes and wildly successful. Once they went into the NFL, their stars continued shining insanely bright, with media members largely trying to even make the most minute details into stories just so they could continue to talk about them.

This is the difference I've been trying to explain. If I'm missing something, let me know.

LOL

Bush was CFB in his tenure at USC. On and off the field.He received more attention than Leinart and Carrol

I don't remember it that way at all.

What is sad is that Bush might have had a time where he was bigger than the game if all of the extra benefit stuff started to come out while he was in college. Instead it all started to unravel after he went pro if I recall correctly.

You may not remember the Nike Reggie knows campaign either

 

[KnightAndDay]

The list IMO

Bo Jackson
Archie Griffin
Tim Tebow
Johnny Manziel
Todd Marinovich
The Boz
Herschel Walker
Doug Flutie

Any more than that and it becomes watered down.
