Best in Texas: Ranking the 10 best college football players in the state of Texas heading into 2016 season

We all know Texas is synonomous with football. Great gridiron talent abounds in the Lone Star State on the high school, college and professional levels.

But who are the top 10 college football players entering the 2016 football season. Here's our initial offseason Best in Texas poll on the subject, voted on by the Dallas Morning News' college insiders and bloggers, as well as Denton Record-Chronicle's Brett Vito.

Each insider listed his top 10 players. A first-place vote counted 10 points, second place nine, third place eight and so on.

1. Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett, 76 points (six first-place votes)

Garrett should be at the top of this list, just as he should hear his name called at the top of next year's NFL draft.
