I agree, i guess he's kinda been in the shadow of Landry.... they will know him by mid-season!!

Bowe and Chris jackson should be second team. and it's debateable if JR should be there as well.

TigerBait3 · Jul 28, 2006

Taylor should be ahead of Bennett. Bennetts numbers will prob drop biiggg time this year. He is still good, though.
