"Clearly, there is no better player in college football than Chris Long" - Coach Al Groh, Virginia
Chris Long, senior defensive end from the University of Virginia, has become a defensive force in college football.
Since his arrival to UVa, Chris has not only been a vocal leader for his team, he's led by example while bringing non-stop effort to every game and every practice. Long embodies all that a collegiate player should - he's a true student-athlete. On the football field, his speed, strength, technique and sheer relentlessness overpower his opponents and have made him one of the elite players in the nation.
His performance as a senior has lifted him out of the shadows of his Hall of Fame father and into the spotlight as one of the greatest players in college football today.
