I'm interested to see the rest of the list because I could have seen Tiny in the top 5.

Not meaning to pick nits here Wes, but the link says Tiny is no. 9 on your list. Threw me off for a minute because I missed the James Stone piece yesterday. Great series, can't argue with your first three so far.

A. I love this segment.
B. I think its interesting that two of the most important players for UT this year are on the o-line. Its too early to compare position representation, but I feel much more comfortable about our oline than and grouping on D or our rbs.

I think I fixed that. I typed the wrong digit in the SEO title — the headline we use for web search engines and stuff.
My bad.
Keep calm and move along.

I did not think I could anticipate football season any more than I already do. This site makes me! I love it but 53 days seems so far away. Great job Wes!

+1 Wes. Looking at the pictures of him, I just realized that his hands are bigger that his thigh pads - actually much bigger. Matter of fact, those thigh pads aren't protecting much of his legs. I can't wait to see what this team does this year!

I think that Tiny's play this year will make the O-line a lot better.

I agree he is top ten and the way I look at it all ten are interchangeable as to their rank. I did notice that more of his arm length is in the bicep area which means strength. The shorter forearm and hand, in that case, are usually more agile. He should be a good pass blocker and I can't wait to see the first run between he and Thomas. It should be fun to watch(I hope(). Thanks Wes and +1
