True2tRA Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 You know, I read various topics about these so called 'future stars' we have with some of the young talent on our team. I'd just like to put a thread out there about a young man that has really impressed this year and not gotten a lot of attention for it. This guy is probably the most passionate badass player on this team. He is always rallying the team trying to get guys fired up. He plays like he hates the guy across from him, and the guys mother for giving birth to him. He has always been a good blocker in my opinion, but his pass catching ability is really overlooked by a lot of people simply because we have really not used the TE's a lot this year. That said, every time the ball goes his way he catches it, atleast from what I've seen. I appreciate this guys effort and his heart. I wish more guys brought the fire to the field like Ben does. That's my piece. I'd like to add that I think this guy is one of the surest future NFL players we have on this team. Quote Link to comment
n.e.husker Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Agreed, Ben really came into his own last season. This year he has shown up as a consistant force blocking and pass catching. Quote Link to comment
Jeremy Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Agreed that he's a tough player with a lot of fire, but NFL? I don't know. Quote Link to comment
Conga3 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Yeah, he's really fun to watch play. Once he gets the ball in his hands, you never know what is going to happen... If I'm the other players on the offense, I'm not sure I run up to him after he scores a touchdown... seems like a good way to get punched in the face - cause his celebrations are a little on the wild side.

tschu Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 He's fine when he isn't getting retarded false start and holding penalties Quote Link to comment
Blaze1up Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Love Cottons play right now, we need Kyler Reed to get back in it. Quote Link to comment
clyde_40 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 In my opinion Ben has the best hands on the team. Plus he's a beast once he tucks the ball away I swear that guy can drag 10 guys behind him. Quote Link to comment
bshirt Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 The kid is an old school Husker. We need more like him..... GBR!! Quote Link to comment
TJ Alum Husker Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 has played very solidly for us this year. However, NFL?? Anyone heard of Brad Cottam. had a cup of coffee with the Chiefs. He reminded me of Cotton. Quote Link to comment
PaulCrewe Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 has some big ol' ears Quote Link to comment
CornHunka Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Ben Cotton, really?? I've seen this guy have more "look out" blocks than almost anyone on the team, especially early in the season. Get Kyler Reed off the milk carton and into the game. Coaches have been saying the Reed is a match up problem for every team on our schedule any yet, he barely gets any passes thrown his way.

zoogs Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 It's true that Reed is underused in the pass attack, but Cotton is the blocker and all-around TE. They both have a big place in our offense. Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Damn this thread! You jinxed Cotton and now he's hurt! Quote Link to comment
The Big Red Husker Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Now we need to get Reed more involved to offset this loss which is huge.... Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 It looked like a wrist at first but the way he was walking off it looked like a collarbone. Any one know? Quote Link to comment
