KVN

I think a lot of the added scrutiny comes from KVN being dethroned as the superstar of the team by Taysom.

Perhaps. But IMO the whining re: KVN would be much much *pronounce* if Taysom hadn't developed the way he has or if we had lost the Houston game.

In fact I have nothing but defended his play this year. He is a gifted and amazing college football player. He is likely an All-American and will garner other awards. He is not lackluster or lazy. And that post was a pathetic display toward a BYU hero.Now as for the NFL, He will get serious consideration, praise and scrutiny. it will be a mixed analysis by pundits and scouts. and I believe he will be end of 1st round at highest or more likely bottom of second round.

He will be a great special teams player and sub in nicely. Who knows, if he puts on more weight he could have a career similar to Bryan Kehl's and maybe better.

Couldn't agreee with you more.

Related somewhat to this thread. Jadeveon clowney and how he has been getting called out a lot this year. You could make argument about injury etc. Here is the point where I think KVN should be vindicated from this type of discussion....

Clowney NOT named a semi-finalist on the bednarik award, KVN was.

So yes he had missed some tackles but the overall body of work has been very good. Lazy players who are taking plays off aren't on that above list.

Thanks to followers for the heads-up on this @BFeldmanCBS list, naming @KVN_03 as CFB's 10th-best defensive player: http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/writer/bruce-feldman/24195644/top-10-best-defensive-players-of-2013" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; …







CRAP! If KVN wasn't so stinking lazy and lacking luster, he could have ranked higher on this list and I could feel better about myself.
