Orgeron’s….well I have no idea what Orgeron is doing.
Five Under The Radar Players That Impact 2017: Offense Edition
We all know Connor Williams is a first round NFL draft pick. Smart insiders (that means you, IT readers) know that PJ Locke and Malcolm Roach are poised for a breakout year on defense. We all know Collin Johnson should be un-coverable and Devin Duvernay can run really fast with a ball in his hands.
