Kansas State Legend Michael Bishop: The Greatest College Quarterback Of All-Time

[@dingerboi4]

My guy woulda been a 1st-2nd rounder if he were born 15 years later.

💯

[@gagebyers1057]

This is the greatest college quarterback that nobody will ever talk about! He is an absolute legend

[@55cleon]

WITHOUT A DOUBT👌🏿!

[@kayblock-bourghs8285]

Absolutely! I'll always remember Michael Bishop. A dual-threat QB, who wasn't given the respect he deserved to be a starting QB in the NFL.

[@nookieharvey9934]

What makes you think you wouldn’t of been a good NFL QB...I need to hear this?? He got arm talent, can make all the NFL throws and can extend the play, I can go on and I can only think of one thing that someone could knock him on and that’s his size then I say look at Russell Wilson or should I say Doug Floutie and Michael Bishop is a better QB than Floutie.

[@alexkain8564]

Nobody held Bishop down in college. The only way that he lost was in shoot outs. He scored points on everybody. He put up four touchdowns in Lincoln against Nebraska in 1997 the national champs. He was the Heisman runner up and is three inches taller than Flutie and is a lot stronger. Better passer and runner than Flutie

[@alexkain8564]

He’s in the College Football Hall of Fame and beat the Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams 48-7. He was a tremendous college football player. He won 22 games at K-State in just two years. He wasn’t the reason they lost against A&M. They got extremely lucky to win that football game. Bishop was the best option quarterback in Big XII history.

[@dalepress1581]

Bishop was an amazing college QB and should have won the Heisman. Way ahead of this time.

[@MacTV303]

Agree Kinda. Ricky Willams was a beast that year. Big 12 in its best. When Nebraska was a threat every year. Grew up in Colorado and loved this era of football

[@americanpatriot2a938]

Living in Junction City Kansas via Fort Riley during the 90’s Bishop was a rock star! I was in high school during his heyday. He should’ve won the Heisman Trophy! One of the greatest college football players to ball.

[@dangeloo.aep7]

He is my social studies teacher

[@bigturboweenie]

Bet!

[@BABA-is8kv]

God Bless!

[@DR_X69]

That was amazing. I was at K State when MB was there and his games were the best and most electrifying thing I have ever seen in CFB. Greatest K State QB ever!

[@elizabethhenthorn8570]

Watched him play ball for the Willis Wildkats. Awesome talent. Willis alum, class of 1982.

[@JohnnyHads]

Greatest college QB I have ever seen.

[@jesskelley4726]

Got to see Michael Vick play in person while he was at VT he was amazing But Bishop was damn good

[@dingerboi4]

Wow that’s a statement. Bishop was JUST before my time. I’m excited to see where Avery lands if we can keep him around.

Yo, sensor the Syracuse Fiesta Bowl highlights! He torched my alma mater! Michael Bishop was that dude!

[@MuRdaaU]

Had the privilege to watch Bishop during multiple CFL games.

[@JohnKurtzShow]

That's awesome! I still think he was just ahead of his time in the NFL.

[@eliasloughmiller1217]

He is the football head coach at Legacy sports sciences in spring Texas and I might be playing for him.

[@JohnKurtzShow]

You'll be playing for a legend, my friend

[@eliasloughmiller1217]

@@JohnKurtzShow it’s between him and another school. He guaranteed me 80-100 catches and I’ve been told what he says goes and is the truth. Plus he has insane amount of connections. Only con of his school is that it would be a 45 min drive every day.

[@markeillionwhite9980]

He’s my coach right now and I go to legacy school of sports sciences it’s owned by Kerrie Brown

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before his time

[@masondutton2834]

Micheal bishop went to my high school I’m at now and he’s tutoring a sophmore QB who has offers from 4 D1 schools and is the 4 ranked QB in Texas for class of 2024 I went to there first game last week and micheal was yelling at our o line to block

[@tahirhinds983]

He was tuff

[@jeremymcconville3308]

That throw at 3:04 show how amazing dude was.

[@floydturner2957]

Man had a rocket launcher on his right shoulder

[@CRXPhil]

The no fun league really missed the ball with M Bishop and other running QBs.

[@kcmarathoner6057]

Except for KS all of those guys came after Bishop. Bishop was jumped by Tom Brady on the Patriots depth chart. If he goes to the Eagles Andy gets a super bowl a lot sooner.

[@taildawg1906]

Great work John!

[@Lamarbl]

My dad played against this dude in HS

[@Wildcat6319]

Excellent work JL!!

[@captaingermany2750]

great video and yeah

[@retireorbust]

Hell yeah. Heard about him from a friend. Said K-state has a new quarterback that could stand on the 20 and thrown it through the uprights. I couldn't believe it but then I saw his arm and knew it was true. Bishop was the last of a bread. He was the gun slinger with bravado who could not only throw a dart but run right over your ass. He had the right stuff. A cock stud who had the right to strut. That may not be wise but he had every right to think, to know he was better than you.

[@wadstur8429]

Definitely should have won the Heisman. Instead, they gave it to Ricky Williams. The same year that we whooped Texas ass and held him to 41 yards on 20 some carries. That’s when I knew it was politics and money and whoever had the best PR campaign.

[@CashSawPluto]

He’s my coach

[@elizabethgodfrey1033]

It appears to me Michael Vick, QB of the Atlanta Falcons studied his style of play. He also wore the same number as Bishop. Michael Vick has never called Michael Bishop’s name, as I know about! Cam Newton always credits who helped him. I like that about Cam, too.

[@kenbaker4528]

Coach Snyder found a good one there.

[@alexkain8564]

You mean a great one

[@michaelwgoldman]

Watching how excited the BYU +3 schools are to join the Big12, I hope BY puts tons of emphasis on the teams' excitement to be a part of the group. Unfortunately SDSU doesn't seem excited. Utah doesn't want to be here. Pass.

There must always be a Lockett in K-state.

Why he never play in the NFL wow..

[@bjr0467]

[@markfahley2152]

Michael reminded me of Brett Favre brilliant one play and the next what the heck was he thinking...

[@tex_s_t]

#willistx

[@Official_GoldVader]

The Reason he failed in the nfl was because he was drafted by the patriots the same year Tom Brady was

[@johnnym4134]

Yeah he was the best k state qb of all time but definitely not college footballs best qb of all time but besides that great video and edit

[@alexkain8564]

Who is better than this guy? Second in the Heisman Trophy in 1998...could have easily taken home the hardware because K-State beat Texas that year 48-7. The Heisman Trophy winner from that year lost by 41 points to this guy and his team. That is unheard of to pull off that kind of miraculous feat. Michael Bishop deserves your full respect.

[@Rcknroler913]

@@alexkain8564 Tommie Frazier is better and it's not even close.

[@alexkain8564]

Tommie Frazier couldn’t throw the football like Michael Bishop could. Plus they are very comparable in terms of talent. If you look at that throw against Ohio University there might be a handful of guys that have ever played the game that could make the throw that Bishop made in that game. Second in the Heisman Trophy for K-State. Keep that in mind

Yeah this man was bad! You know you've done something if you randomly pop up on folks head and they have to Google you to reminisce 😊 heck of a player

[@Danny-qi4lp]

He was great in a conference that didn't play defense.

[@johnlewis6418]

Actually, the Big 12 was known for defense during that era.

[@victormontoya117]

If he was a goat how come NFL coaches didn't sign him I wish the Texans sign him.

[@MentalOutlvl6]

Because of the era if it was post 2012 he easily be a first round pick because back then teams wanted pocket passers and teams really didn't know how to use them efficiently yet

[@trevorthiessen6317]

​@@MentalOutlvl6yep, no dual threat qbs were ever drafted at that time. A shame.

[@bigjonh444]

@@trevorthiessen6317Donovan McNabb and Randall Cunningham might disagree with you

[@trevorthiessen6317]

@bigjonh444 Randall Cunningham was about a decade earlier and was still mostly a pocket passer that ran occasionally. Donavin McNabb and Bishop played each other in the Fiesta bowl, and Kstate won 35-17. They were by far an anomaly and not the rule. Both Bishop and McNabb were drafted, but McNabb was used more extensively as he was more a passing qb than running qb than Bishop. Bishop was also drafted to New England where Tom Brady took the starting spot right after Bledsoe, again, because New England favored the pocket passing qb. It was very rare to ever see running/duel threat qbs get drafted or used extensively the NFL at that time, though that seemed to be the start of the change of mindset. Not long after, Michael Vick came in, and with the success of him and McNabb, I think that led to more acceptance of mobile and running QBs.

[@bigjonh444]

@@trevorthiessen6317 McNabb was terrible at passing. Running was his strength. He threw a lot of passes in the dirt. He only excelled as a passer under Reid. I tried to be a McNabb fan in college but he just couldn’t throw the ball.
