Was there a player that, you know, either wasn't on the roster or was on the roster,

but you didn't have super high expectations for that ended up surprising you more than

anybody else?

Yeah, I think there's a few, and some of them are new players that you're wanting to see.

If Eckler doesn't get hurt, does Bill Cross

the Ameri have the same amount of reps?

And you can kind of go into other spaces with people

for a receiver to see Jayland Lane,

not just as a returner, but make an impact into those spaces.

So we played a lot of people at receiver.

We played a lot of people at defensive end,

that corner.

And so to see some of those guys into that spot, like Jake Martin was one that I thought,

came in as a first year player here, all right, showed, you know, he could handle, you know,

bigger parts of that role.

Offensive line until the end of the season was one of our spots that we did stay healthy and have good spots. But all of those ones, they might be one-offs here and there, but to see guys step into roles,

Jeremy Reeves was one when we lost Will Harris stepped in and certainly made some plays.

We had seen that on special teams easily.

And so to see that carry over on the defensive side, that on special teams easily.

And so to see that carry over onto the defensive side, that was a big deal.

And I would say Jordan McGee at linebacker was one that I thought showed the speed,

the violence that we're looking for from the spot.
