I think it would have been Gregory Junior if he hadn’t gotten injured. He is a very gifted and fluid athlete who really popped in training camp and the preseason.

Lloyd, ETN and Travon have all improved dramatically this year and are vital components of our young core going forward. Lloyd and ETN make everything look so easy and have the Want to dominate which is a fundamental aspect to winning in football. Travon’s physicality allows us to run the defensive scheme that we run.

Montaric Brown needs to be singled out for his contributions on the field. He has worked his tail off and has played some great ball and has filled in admirably when called into action.

Mike Caldwell has done an exceptional job as defensive coordinator and has been our 2nd best coach on the team behind Pederson. He truly has his fingers on the pulse of his players and has really excelled and putting his players in the best position to succeed. His units have suffered injuries and just go about their business with the next man up mentality and rarely miss a beat. Blackson has been a surprise and Gotsis is having his best year on the team.
