SEC Leading Rusher Kevin Harris Ridiculously Underrated

Anyhow who on your team has stepped up in a big way kind of unexpectedly this season?

Kadarius Toney.

I know non-Florida fans had seen his 1 run/catch a game where he looked like a video game and would break 3 ankles for a ridiculous SC Top 10 highlight.

I'm not sure non-Florida fans saw the 20 plays a game where he danced in the backfield for a 7 yard loss or ran lazy, loping routes at half speed if the ball wasn't in his hand.

He laughably legitimately considered declaring for the Draft last year. There was serious talk that he might opt out this season. I was done with him and expected him to barely see the field, thought he refused to commit to making himself a better player.

I was very wrong. He has made a complete metamorphosis into a well-rounded WR rather than an athlete that only runs gadget plays or sweeps. He runs crisp routes downfield. Trask actively looks for him at critical times - he is statistically our best 3rd down WR and was at one point the best in the SEC in % of 3rd downs converted as a targeted receiver.

The entire OL for the Aggies. Hard to pick just one.

Ditto to Harris. What a great surprise he has been, and I don’t think it is a fluke either. Begs the question, how good is Marshawn Lloyd if he was the clear cut favorite over Harris in camp? Those two could be fun next year.

Even though he wasn't effective vs A&M, you could see how much of a load he was to take down. He would turn a no gain into 1-2 yards.

Agree with the A&M OL stepping it. It just seems like everything clicked after underperforming for the last couple years.

I will also throw in Chase Lane. He was not highly sought after. We had 3 more highly ranked WRs in his class and some even higher the next class, but he's carved out a nice consistant role. 2-6 catches 40-70 yards a games.
