The Victors

Rationale: I’m not including players that we know are going to be good: Marsh, Jordan Marshall, etc. these are the guys that could really elevate our ceiling if they pan out this season.

1. Underwood. Duh. I’m not listing anyone else on the offense, because the pieces are all there. If Bryce makes the leap…

2. Etta. We know who Trey Pierce is. He’s a lunchbucket type DL. Etta still has a lot more room between where he is and where his ceiling might be.

3. D. Nichols. Having a second edge who can really disrupt and demand the OL’s attention would be huge.

4. Snowden. I think we know who Hill and Berry are. Shamari Earls is the CB of the future. Some are comparing Smith Snowden to Mikey Sainristil. If that’s remotely on point…

5. Rod Moore. Fool me once…I’m in extreme show-me mode on Moore, but if he’s healthy, we know he can be a difference maker as a player and a leader on the D.
