Sometimes, it's easy to spot a really special player. I remember the first time I saw Troy Taylor in practice. I was really excited. Those were the very early days of the web, so it was very easy to have a secret. Kelsey Young seemed to really stand out like that in practice.

I also remember sitting in a horrible game watching us lose to Navy (yes, the first of the quick kick games), and hearing freshman Toby Gerhart's name being called somewhat repeatedly after he had gained than four yards a clip. I commented to my friend that he was going to be good. We didn't get to see many young running backs because we're so stacked there. People are expecting Barry Sanders to be special, but I wonder how much of that is simply bloodlines.

I can tell when an OL plays well as a unit, but I can't judge individual play very well. I'd guess that David Yankey will probably develop into a special player.

I seem to hear Vaughters' name a lot, so he might be special.
