I want Wilkerson to have a breakout season, because I think he has the most prototypical blend of size and speed on our roster. Taylor's gift was that he could hit the hole fast when he needed to, or he could be patient when he needed to. Wilkerson doesn't quite have that calculus down yet.

Totally agree. It seems to me that Stepfan and Toby had the patience to wait an extra moment for the hole to develop and then make their move. Wilkerson always seems to be in a hurry, and sometimes seems like he's right on the blockers' heels. But you take his speed, size, and quick acceleration, and he could be really special. I've been a big fan of his since his frosh game against ASU. We were up 4 points with 1:30 left in the game; Wilkerson broke free for what could have been an easy touchdown run, but instead he sat down on the 4 yard-line so that we could control the ball and run the clock out. I'm really hoping Wilkerson gets to be The Man this year.
