Do you think that great college players, such as Leak, are not honored as much and revered as highly if they do not perform at the next level? I know we shouldn't think like that. But how many people really remember how awesome Ryan Leaf was in college? No one!

Go great players in college become unknowns if they don't carry over to the NFL?

Yeah, just like all of us at UF will ALWAYS remember how great Danny was. I think it makes a big difference on the nation as a whole, but not as much on the college fans that watched the player play for his/her favorite team during college.

But how many people across the nation remember how great Danny was? He had one of the best QB performances in history. Do you think people in California or Texas remember that? or do they only remember he couldn't make it in the 'big boys' league?

I think Danny's legacy is confined to Gator fans alone. College football fans don't remember how great he was. I think you have to be a good professional for people to look back and remember how good you were in college. It's sad, but thats how it works.
