Eric Decker, Gophers WR

I just can't say enough about that guy. Day in and day out, he always seems ot able to perform. It's mind blowing really, he's been double-covered and triple-covered, and whether it be through his sheer will or the stubborness of quarterback Adam Weber, Decker is among the national leaders in catches and recieving yard.

I mean I'm still trying to get over how this guy can even make be so good. He's got a good wide reciever build (6'3, 215) has solid speed (4.5) and good hands. Yes he's an exceedingly good route runner and has great hands, but no reciever should be able to be this good. Jerry Rice was the only real star that I can think of that could do what Decker did, except Jerry did have exceptional speed. The thing that I think puts Decker apart from all others is how determined he is. Also the fact that your quarterback seemingly depends on you to boost up his stats certainly helps.

Building on Favre's Legend; Lewis's too.

I was in my seat roaring, as was everyone at the Metrodome was, when soon to be 40 - year old Brett Favre snapped off a sharp pass with time expiring to newly minted Viking Greg Lewis. It seems vintage Favre takes over at clutch moments of any game. While Favre may have used every ounce of energy left in those fading legs, aging arm, and battered body, it was Greg Lewis who came in during the most unique situation.



Greg Lewis, the ex-Patriot and ex-Eagle reciever, was signed right before the beginning of the season after a peculiar move by the Vikings, releasing leading wide reciever Bobby Wade to make room for Lewis. Lewis was part of Childress's offense during the heyday of the Philadelphian offensive juggernaut. However, the only reason that Lewis was able to get on the field during the last play was because rookie reciever Percy Harvin was absolutely gassed, giving Greg Lewis his window.

And boy did he take advantage of it.

'Skol Vikings!
