How good a football player was..

Not early in his life!
Thought this was a real topic, possibly expanding to best football player college and pro. First names that come up, OJ and Hershell. Then expand the topic, best college and pro WR's, OL's DE', DL's, LB's, DB's. PSUERS that might apply, Dave Robinson and Lavar. Forget QB's really don't recall Brady in College.
 
Classic case of trying to make a "Track Guy" into a football player. Could be the only time in history it worked to perfection.

Then you should have started with something along those lines instead of a movie character.
 
Top of my head:
College only:
Best QB: Tim Tebow (all around) Ty Detmer (Passer)
RB: Barry Sanders
OL: Orlando Pace
WR: Calvin Johnson
TE: Keith Jackson - until the end of this year....then Ty Warren.
DL: Bruce Smith
LB: Lawrence Taylor
DB: Ronnie Lott
 
The thing that made Gump so great was that he knew how to focus on a goal. Notice how he ran straight for the end zone every time. None of that cutting back and forth B.S.
