Fox Sports' lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt picks the best players since 2000 to make his All-21st Century team in College Football. How do you choose between QB's like Joe Burrow, Cam Newton, Vince Young, Tim Tebow and others? That's the challenge Klatt takes on to build out his team. He debates between all-time great Running Backs like Christian McCaffery, Derrick Henry, Adrian Peterson and Reggie Bush but only one can be selected. On the defensive side of the ball, it doesn't get any easier deciding between players like Myles Garrett, Will Anderson Jr and an Edge rusher from the early 2000's that put up one of the greatest seasons we've ever seen. Secondary players like Ed Reed and Tyrann Mathieu battle it out with more recent players like Caleb Downs and Patrick Surtain. Let the debates begin!
