surprise player to have breakout season

any guesses?

I am going to go out on a limb and say DR. I think Hoke has him working on mechanics. If he can get them down and can make an accurate pass consistently, people will be asking Michael Vick who?

I will go out on a limb as well. I think there is a real opportunity for someone to get early playing time at WR. Amara Darboh is my pick The kid has been through a lot and I think that will keep him from being overwhelmed as a freshmen. He started football late and I think has a ton of potential still. Let's face it we need someone at WR to step up big next year.

Denard is going to need someone reliable to throw the ball too, so our posts go kind of hand in hand

Some may say he had a 'breakout year' this year...but I'd argue he had some breakout 'plays'.

I don't think he does because he's a 'great' receiver, but more so because we NEED someone at the WR position to step up. Opposing d's will be keying on Roundtree; they've seen his abilities (from 2010). I think this leaves a lot of opens holes for Gallon.

Speaking of our two WR's....uh ohhhhhhhhhhhhh:




Love how depressed the announcer sounds.

Roundtree IMO seemed to only be able to make the so called circus catches, while Gallon is more your possession type receiver. Good route runner, good hands and the boy can run. I was a little upset they didn't utilize him in the O more last year.

I couldn't stand Gallon in 2010. I don't remember how many punt returns he dicked up....but I didn't like the kid.

Then....he does what he did in the ND game...and:

(Start it at the :45 mark)

gallon could be very effective for us but i must admit i hated him at first as well..... he was one of the worst punt returners i had seen
