Boise State Football: 10 Greatest Players in Bronco History (bleacher report)

In my biased opinion, the best b/r slideshow ever. Although some people may have a favorite or two that did not make the list and maybe argue that one or two may not deserve to be on the top 10, it is still a good compilation.

Link HERE if the above link doesn't work for some.

Notably not on the list: Colledge, Hughes, Dinwiddie, Polowski, Carr. If the list was expanded to Top 20, who would be on it?

BR late on the scene

List is really only about the last 10 years. Certainly the players listed are great, but where are McMillan, Hutt, Wilcox? Too often these lists boast of the players accomplishments in the NFL or CFL, but it should only take into account their college careers. Title should really be greatest players of the last decade.

University of Idaho - more Roady than Humanitarian.

How does Korey Hall not make the list?

My thoughts as well.

Replace Zabransky with Hall any day. No question.

Z isn't in the top three QBs in school history--maybe not even the top 5

Kellen/RD/Hendricks—are all light years ahead of Z. I would put Hilde and McMillian up there too. Being the QB when the team wins in spite of you doesn’t put you ahead of guys who won games against greater talent (if Z doesn’t like it, he should stop throwing pick sixes).

This feels like a list from someone who doesn’t really follow the program, but has ESPN.

RD should be up the list, and Korey should as well. Defensive guys from 85-95 should probably get some run too—Keever, Helgeson, Rade etc.
I like Daryn on the list too.

Brock Forsey should be in the discussion as well.
