Anyone think one of these three would be interesting?

CDsNuts

I think it would be more interesting in FB and BK because many of the #1's ended up being good players.

GDM67

It's at least as valid an idea as a Heisman winners set.

MeteoriteGuy

I've thought about this, or doing ROY of the sets.

ArnyVee

I think that the baseball registry has a ROY set, but I'm not sure about the others. That might be interesting too.

ArnyVee

I just checked and there were no ROY sets for Football. I think that this set would be fun! Check out the names.....
