You know who the two best Missouri football layers are ahead of the 2024 season. Luther Burden is living up to his potential as one of the best players in college football. And Brady Cook has developed into a star, a steadying leader and gritty player who also plays a damn fine quarterback.
But what about the third best player? Is it a box score stuffer like Marcus Carroll, who rushed for 1,350 yards at Georgia State last year? Maybe a veteran like Kristian Williams or Theo Wease? Perhaps Cayden Green, with his prodigious recruiting pedigree, coveted transfer status, and NFL prospects is your choice.
