At one point or another, we have all had discussions about building the ultimate team. Maybe you did this on the EA Sports’ Madden franchise. If you can take one position group from certain teams, how would you build the ultimate team?
Chris Hummer of 247Sports decided to take a stab at building the ultimate team, so which Oklahoma position groups were under consideration? For this team, how can you start anywhere but the Oklahoma Sooners quarterback room.
Quarterbacks
Hummer Says…
Would you really pick another quarterback or quarterback room? Think about Oklahoma’s recent run of production spanning from Baker Mayfield to Kyler Murray to Jalen Hurts. Now it’s redshirt sophomore Spencer Rattler, who is coming off a season that saw him throw for 3,031 yards and 28 touchdowns while completing 67.5% on 9.6 yards per attempt of his passes as a first-year starter. I’d expect those numbers to only improve in Year 2. Rattler will have a better stable of skill talent around him – both at running back and wide receiver – and should take a step in his second year of Riley’s system.
Given the history of Lincoln Riley producing NFL-caliber quarterbacks, that is the best way to go. From Mayfield to Rattler, they are always the talk of college football. The Sooners could soon be added another five-star gunslinger to the fold: Malachi Nelson’s commitment is scheduled to be announced on July 18.
