Rashad Greene, Wide Receiver, Florida State Seminoles (Defeated Boston College Eagles 20-17)

8 Receptions for 106 Yards

Rashad Greene’s numbers were good but not anything that would blow you away. We simply have him back on this list because, once again, he came through in the biggest moments for Jameis Winston and the Florida State Seminoles.

Greene had two crucial catches on the final drive that set up the game-winning field goal, and that was just two in a string of catches he came up with throughout the game. The 20-17 win over the Boston College Eagles was certainly an ugly one for Florida State, even uglier than the wins they have had in recent weeks.

But once again, they found a way to get it done and come through when it mattered most. All of the weapons honestly stepped up for the Seminoles, including Winston, Nick O’Leary, Karlos Williams, and Dalvin Cook. But Greene was the crucial player once again, extending the long winning streak for Jimbo Fisher’s team.

We are going to acknowledge Greene for that and put him on this list. Another 100-yard receiving game and bailout of Winston is nothing to sleep on, including against Steve Addazio’s Boston College Eagles.
