THE PLAYER YOU PICK MUST HAVE PLAYED IN ANY EDITION OF NCAA FOOTBALL, AND MUST HAVE BEEN IMPORTED INTO MADDEN SUPERSTAR!

Here is the format:

1st: College career
2nd: Pro career
3rd: Pro career (if you didn't finish) and final thoughts

My pick: Running back Eric Roy, University of Michigan. From NCAA 2007 imported into Madden 2007.

Roy was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. He attended his hometown school, U of M.

Roy won the starting job as a freshman and immediately made an impact. In his freshman year, he rushed for over 1200 yards and 8 touchdowns, becoming a freshman All-American.

As a sophomore, Roy exploded. He was named to the All-Big 10 preseason team, and lived up to it. He rushed for over 1500 yards and 14 touchdowns, winning the Heisman and leading UM to a national title.

In his junior season, Eric had the best season by a RB in UM history. He rushed for 2500 yards, 23 touchdowns, and returned 2 punts for TDs. He was a first team All American, won a second straight Heisman, and led UM to its second consecutive national championship.

Eric Roy broke all major rushing record during his Michigan tenure. He would go to the NFL after his junior.

Well first and foremost, you did not follow the guidelines I had set. I'll let it go.

Eric Roy was drafted the highest an NCAA import can be drafted (first pick, second round) by the Texans. Unfortunately, he had absolutely depised any team from the state of Texas, so he demanded a trade in the preseason. He was picked up by the Jets.

Roy won ROY, MVP, and Offensive POY in his rookie year. He rushed for over 2000 yards, and 18 touchdowns to help the Jets win the Super Bowl.

Next year, at age 22, he had another fantastic season. He rushed for 2200 yards this time, another 17 touchdowns, another SB, another MVP. Pretty nice.

He stayed with the Jets his entire career. In his decorated career, he never rushed for less than 2000 yards and never scored less than 17 touchdowns.

At age 25, Roy had the best season ever for a running back. While leading the Jets to a 5th consecutive super bowl win, he set records.

He rushed for over 3100 yards and 33 touchdowns. He took a record 613 carries, yet was never injured in a game in his career.

Roy remained a Jet his entire career, as I said before. Never suehd for less than 2000 yards. Broke every rushing record in the NFL.

Roy is most certainly not a primadonna. He was known as one of the toughest players in NFL history actually.

Jesus Balls would never step on Eric Roy's throat. His name is Jesus. Would Jesus do such a cruel thing? I would think not.

Eric Roy was an absolute beast in his NFL career. Here are his career stats for 15 seasons.

Yards: 30,000+
TDs: 200+
YPC: 5.4
YPG: 150.8

Those are pretty good stats. You see most QUARTERBACKS passing for over 30,000 yards and 200 touchdowns in their careers, not running backs. That's how good Eric Roy was.
