Athlon: Big Ten Wild Card Players in 2016 (MN: Rashad Still, KiAnte Hardin)

[BleedGopher]

per Athlon:

Minnesota Golden Gophers

Offense: Rashad Still, Wide Receiver Minnesota has a couple of upperclassmen to look to make strides in the receiving game, but one younger name to watch will be Still. He appeared in 12 games last fall and caught 18 passes for 194 yards and three touchdowns. He could see his role increase this season as the Gophers look to replace KJ Maye.

Defense: KiAnte Hardin, Defensive Back There are some big shoes to fill in the defensive backfield, which means Hardin, a sophomore, may be looked to mature quickly as he fills a starting job. Hardin did appear in all 13 games Minnesota played last season, with an average of one tackle per game to show for it. His role will be much more definitive in 2016.

Actually, I think the wildcard players are Conner M and the transfer newcomers in the o-line. If Miller helps them like I think he can, they can be the most improved part of the team.

You really don't want O line players being a "wildcard" as this is defined. You want a gamechanger. I think Still could be a superstar on this team.

Agree on Still and his potential. He showed me enough last year that I am very optimistic on him becoming a game changer.

Still!

Agree Still probably will be game changer. Tough match up for either DB or LB. Big enough, fast enough, long, and good hands. Get him a bunch of balls in the early non-conf games.
