Berry doesn't even get honorable mention? Sweet Christmas he's getting hosed.
Also, am I the only one who would take Akeem Dent and Josh Bynes over Chris White and Kelvin Sheppard? The linebackers are a little screwy. I guess it gets lost in translation with some being in 3-4s, some being MLBs.
What about our WR's? Darvin is by far one of the best WRs in the conference, if not country. Emory and T-Zac both make huge plays when they need too. And Kodi doesn't get honorable mention? I have the utmost respect for that kid. Kodi is one of many of my heroes on this team.
