[NU Sports] Persa makes first team!

[Michael Vance]

I completely agree. Robinson was the most dynamic, most dangerous 
offensive player in the league.  But he wasn't one of the two best 
quarterbacks.  He really wasn't even in the top five (Persa, Tolzein, 
Cousins, Stanzi, Chappell).  But if you had to name one single player 
against whom defenses hated to line, it was probably him.
