15 Non-Power 5 College Football Players You Need to Know for the 2015 Season

Did you know that since 2000, 12 of the 32 quarterbacks who started in the Super Bowl didn’t play for a Power Five team in college?

That’s 38 percent of the field.

It proves an important point: You don’t have to play for Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma or USC to be a good football player.

It also means that you don’t have to play for a big-time program to become one of the greatest football players of all time. Think of Brett Favre of Southern Miss, Jack Lambert of Kent State and Walter Payton of Jackson State.
