First up is Taylor Stubblefield, renowned as one of the most exceptional and productive wide receivers to have graced college football. While his on-field prowess is well-documented, for those unfamiliar or who may have forgotten his iconic moments, a video of one of his memorable plays has been provided for reference. Stubblefield made a significant impact during his time at Purdue, playing alongside the likes of Drew Brees under the coaching of Joe Tiller. Even to this day, he ranks 9th all-time in career receptions, with the current record held by Zay Jones from East Carolina.
Stubblefield’s eligibility for the College Football Hall of Fame stems from his recognition as a consensus All-American in 2004. However, his former teammate, the exceptional quarterback Drew Brees, is not eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame.
The other candidate is Graham Harrell, the current offensive coordinator at Purdue. Harrell had a remarkable career as a quarterback at Texas Tech before transitioning into coaching.
