One Of The Few Lists Where Bob Golic Tops John Elway

Sports Illustrated put out a list of the 15 greatest college athletes of all-time, and I had no idea that some of the people on the list were as versatile as they were. We know about Bo Jackson and Charlie Ward, of course. But I had no idea that sprinter Marion Jones was on a UNC basketball team that went 92-10 when she was there. I didn't know that Dave Winfield was a stud basketball player for Minnesota. And apparently, Bob Golic was a hell of a wrestler.

Here's the list, 1-15. Feel free to make your own additions and criticisms. Myself, I'd like to see Mike Cooper somewhere on the list, for his scrolling/stroking/looking-over-the-shoulder technique. I've yet to see it matched. Thankfully.

1. Jim Brown 2. Jackie Robinson 3. Bo Jackson 4. Charlie Ward 5. Deion Sanders 6. Dave Winfield 7. Marion Jones 8. Jackie Joyner-Kersee 9. Raghib Ismail 10. Brian Jordan 11. Wilt Chamberlain 12. Bob Golic 13. John Elway 14. Jeff Samardzija 15. Julius Peppers
