Ricky-Jean .. I dont know if people actually realize how good he is. I'll bet he will make All-American with no injuries. Behind him I would say Richard Murphy. He has alot of talent, and I think he will rush for over 1k this year. He just needs the playing time, and its kind of hard with the load of backs we have.

Quinn Johnson or Steven Ridley, whoever wins the FB job (I guess it will be Johnson). Pretty much every other position is being super hyped because of all the talent we have everywhere, except for QB which is being super hyped because we don't have a lot of super players there (so they think). FB is just about the only position that hasn't been discussed much, and I think either of these guys (probably more so Ridley, if he can develop his potential) can be a significant playmaker. They won't steal the show from the RBs or anything, but I suspect there will be more than a couple of times this fall when Tiger fans will be saying, "thank goodness we have those fullbacks."

Beckwidth & Helms definitely. These guys were pillars of our team last year & never got the attention they should have for it. They are starting to get some notice though.

anyone who is on the all-sec team shouldn't be on this list IMO...in reality no one gets much national exposure...only a handful of players in the country get that...tebow, moreno, sanchez, beanie, etc.... with that being said, a healthy charles alexander has got to be up there

Beat me to it. I was giving a dissertation instead of keeping it simple.

No offense, but I think RJF is a poor choice, as he's probably overrated if anything given the high profile nature of his two appearances. RJF is definitely getting his due. I think Darry Beckwith is somewhat overlooked considering his production over the past two years, but on the whole it's going to be difficult for the media to really overlook anyone on a team with as high of a profile as ours.
