    Ranking all college football head coaches as players

    In the spirit of actually interesting offseason content (Real Girlfriends of UNC aside) ESPN has ranked all of the head coaches as players.

    Napier is included and they gave him this blurb

    Billy Napier, Florida Gators: After playing high school football for his father, Bill, Napier went to Furman, where he twice earned All-Southern Conference honors as a quarterback. Furman won two league titles and reached the Division I-AA (now FCS) national championship game in Napier's junior season of 2001. Napier set team records as a senior with 64.8% completions and 2,475 yards and was a finalist for the Walter Payton Award, given to the top FCS player.

    I'll be honest, I did not realize he was this prolific. I knew he was good but the moment he lost his first game at Florida, posters made sure his int for a touchdown was the main focus of him as a player.

    Edit: His pick 2 to lose the game that is.
