The other day my buddy showed me EA’s latest attempt at making Madden enjoyable: Campus Legends (for a limited time). Basically you can play as certain college teams with rosters comprised of legends. Makes sense.
The initial list I saw had six teams. None of which were the Miami Hurricanes. I about lost my mind. I’m a much bigger Badger fan than of Miami, but I still love The U, and they are obviously a far superior program historically. Their omission was glaring, and I wouldn’t stand for it. I needed to do some research.
I clicked on the link and I found them. Case closed. Good job, me. But since I’m here, I might as well check out the actual roster. The 2001 Miami Hurricanes were the greatest team in college football history, and were one of five National Championship winning teams in program history. They’ve set a number of records for players selected in the NFL Draft. This squad will be stacked.

Huh? David Njoku at TE? I about lost my mind. As the younger middle child would say, this list is sus.
Off the top of my head, here are some other *TEs that have played at Miami: Greg Olsen, Bubba Franks, Jeremy Shockey, and Jimmy Graham. No offense to David Njoku, but you’re not them. The only conclusion I could come to was I needed to make my own team.
