What I mean is the best player that only a fan of the team would know about, but every one else is kinda oblivious to him….or at least oblivious at the moment.

For FSU I have to go with nickel back / safety Terrence Brooks. When FSU had all of those injuries last year, he was one of the guys that stepped in and did a good job. He’s also the reason why 5 star safety Karlos Williams can’t seem to crack the starting line up. He will be the forgotten guy while Lamarcus Joyner, Greg Reid and Xavier Rhodes get all the glory.

Nuk Hopkins….Everyone talks about Sammy Watkins, but “Nuk” is lethal

It’s from his childhood - after nuk pacifiers.

Yep, Hopkins.  He will have a breakout year causing people to wonder where he came from.

Right, but do you know _why_

I met a girl who grew up with him one night, she said its because when he was a baby he would go through a pacifier a day and would suck on them so hard they would explode….or so his moma says

but hes been that intense since before he had teeth

Funny. Hadn’t heard that part.

Nuk may be underrated (for now), but he’s hardly a secret.  I would say Jaron Brown, who was absolutely clutch last year.  He had 31 receptions last year, 29 of which went for either a first down (25) or a TD (4).  That’s impressive.

I think we have a defensive secret weapon in Stephone Anthony, who I predict will be an all-ACC selection by the end of the year.  Out with Steele’s confusing, hesitation-inducing system, in with Venables downhill attacking LBs.  Anthony is going to be very, very good.

I think Jamison Crowder is in for a huge season for us. I have seen him in person, and I think that he is more talented than Don Varner, who had a very nice career for us.

I am with you on this.  Nuk isn’t really a secret weapon.

FSU is working on bigger fish to fry. Reports from some of the FSU alumni who follow this closely report that Jim Delaney is a huge fan of adding FSU to the Big 10. He seems to be quite impressed that FSU is working toward AAU status. The CIC money awarded to research schools in in the billions. This would help FSU reach AAU status very rapidly.

Just overshadowed enough to make people forget about him.  Which is fine with me.

I didn’t know of him so I looked him up and watched film. He does look like he could be very good.

I would say the one under Crowell’s seat….but that’s just not right.

I’ll go with LB Amarlo Herrera on defense and Michael Bennett on the offensive side.

Herrera is going to have to be the guy that picks up the slack on the double and triple blocks that Jarvis Jones is going to see. And Bennett could end up being the best all around WR on the field. He has really worked on his blocking assignments for the running game and is a solid #2 can be #1 option in the passing game.

The double secret weapon on Special teams has to be incoming freshman kickers PK Marshall Morgan and P Colin Barber. These kids have to perform instantly as freshman…no other choice.
