The CheckerBoard

No one really. Toss up between AJ "The Beast" Johnson and CP. Aj, probably because he has the most touchdowns and tackles on our team (okay, I know that probably isn't true...).

Neal probably should get considered too, he's done great thus far.

The OL, only 3 sacks so far on the year.

He's done a damn good job against some of the best defensive linemen in the country. Speaks volumes he can play this well as a Sophomore at LT. He's my pick, by far.

Rajion Neal has exceeded my expectations.

Agree. I had wrote him off after last season.

Agree

Totally Agree!

Is this even debatable? CP by a mile......

No, it's obviously debatable. Any I don't disagree with any of your opinions. We've had quite a few players, and units, step up big for us this year. But CP would get my vote because he is garnering national attention with his on the field performances.

The O line from tackle to tackle. And how 'bout that James Stone. Anyone seen any snap issues this year? And all others mentioned have valid points to make their case.

I think you'd have to go with Cordarrelle Patterson, Rajion Neal or "Tiny" Richardson to this point. For me, it's hard to argue with Patterson even though he's in his first year at UT.

On defense, you could make a compelling argument for A.J. Johnson or Byron Moore. Johnson leads the team in tackles by a lot — he has 77, and the next closest, Moore, has 53 — and has been effective in the "Beast" package on offense, too. Moore, meanwhile, is the team's second-leading tackler and leads the team in interceptions (4) and passes defensed (6).
