College Football's Top Big-Play Threats Returning in 2023

College football players that frequently rip off big plays or can seemingly score on any given touch produce some of the sport's most exciting moments. That's why we love watching them suit up on Saturdays.

Guys who can catch deep balls or rush for chunks at a time are the most obvious players that fit this archetype. So for this ranking, we focused on wide receivers and running backs.
