Who is the best defensive player in this picture?

[ALLGATOR]

Jarvis Jones, Manti Te’o, Jadeveon Clowney

 

[greyhammer90]

The Florida Gators




That's a lot of beef at that table.

 

[Ironman8]

Where is Jelani Jenkins? Matt Elam?

 

[Riddickulous]

Who's the guy on the far right? Braxton Miller?

 

[ab2cmiller]

I'll go with Johnny Football. Word is he's taking on punting duties and playing nose tackle in the bowl game. He is Mr. Excitement!!!!!!

 

[SoIll]

braxton miller

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

Clowney is the most talented and has the highest ceiling. Manti is the most polished player right now

 

[ALLGATOR]

Where is Jelani Jenkins? Matt Elam?

Jelani is not better than anybody at that table this is his first good year of football as far as I am concerned.

 

[Ironman8]

Jarvis Jones looks like he uses some Soul Glow

Yeah, but I would bet he will be there next year. He has all the talent in the world at that position.

 

[Irish Houstonian]

How can you compare Manti to lil' Wayne and Lennox Lewis?

 

[arrowryan]

Jarvis Jones looks like a straight thug!

 

[NDinFL]

Is this just a troll(ish) question?

You know most of us will answer Manti

 

[mgriff]

Clowney with the highest potential at the most in demand position. Te'o is the best player at that table.

 

[PANDFAN]

Who's the guy on the far right? Braxton Miller?

didn't you see all of his free tattoos?

 

[koonja]

Cool picture, but the answer's easy. Manti.

 

[irishpat183]

Manti- London Fletcher
Clowney- Jared Allen
Jones- LT

 

[fitz_bu47]

Manti is an all time great in College Football....Ya I said it. MLB finalist for the Heisman, catalyst for a National title run.

Clowney could be an all time great, all depends on what he does from here.

If you are talking potential it is Clowney from an NFL perspective probably, but I would take Manti anchoring my D for a decade too.

So right now definitely Manti, in the future who knows but all 3 have the potential to be all pro's.

 

[irishpat183]

All different positions....All going to be studs on Sunday.

But of course, Manti is the best. He actually has to think for a whole D

They are all awesome in different ways. They all play different positions on the field and roles in the locker room. Impossible question IMO.

I'd like to point out that Clowney looks very happy in this picture. That guy seems cool.

I hope this only means defensive players. Braxton is underwhelming imo.

Will Hill

 

[PraetorianND]

How would you look if you were sitting beside Manti? or perhaps

I look the latter just thinking about Manti let alone sitting next to him.

 

[Grahambo]

 

[WakeUpEchoes]

Manti about to do an interview with Barrett Jones on CFB Daily (ESPN 2 I think).

I laughed...haven't seen that since contemplating the last movie Eddie Murphy did that was funny...

bingo

 

[Irish Houstonian]

I would say that Clowney has the most athletic potential. Don't forget, brains and instincts are also part of your "ceiling". Very few MLB's in the NFL can play zone coverage very well.

 

[ohara831]

Clowney with the highest potential at the most in demand position. Te'o is the best player at that table.

This. But give him another year, and Clowney will be a monster. Kid is amazing.

 

[Kak7304]

Te'o also has all the right intangibles and elevates the level of play of those around him. That's a huge part of his value over the other players.
