No, you cannot write in Dan Lafever, Jordan Lynch, or Steve McNair.  No HS defenses allowed.

easily Cam Newton imo, he won the MNC at Auburn without much of anything around him playing an SEC schedule. size of a DE at 6'5, 250 had a rocket arm and 4.5ish speed.

You'd think a man who (I think?) works in a HS would know what a HS defense looks like, but he never does. (FWIW, seems fine to not count non-P5 numbers. They certainly are a different thing)

What?!?
The high school defenses comment. 

in terms of actual pick, I went with Manziel. These was a factor there I can’t totally put my finger on, but one that felt like almost everything they did was on him and Evans. For some reason, others felt either less resonant or more supported. But just isolating run pass, that felt like the pick to me. (With others being greater in other ways)

Some amazing stats above.  Surprised Vince Young didn't make the list.

My eyeballs say Cam Newton.  A one man wrecking crew.

And as MDOT said above --- who else was on that team?  

Maybe Michael Dyer as RB?
