I'd say Odrick and Grimes have been the true standouts for us. We've had nice play from players like Wake, Starks, Solai, Hartline, Tannehill, Clay, Wallace, Clemons, and Vernon, but I don't think any of them have been standouts on their own.
Last season it was Reshad Jones who was pretty overrated around here... then in the offseason it was Chris Clemons who got super overrated... now, judging by this thread, looks like Vernon is getting all the hype.
I love it when our guys over achieve but don't get too worked up calling him a top 5 player for this team. He's been solid, but also part of the reason our run defense has been suspect. He deserves an honorable mention for his performance, for sure. And if he can repeat this again next year then we'll know he's for real.
