4. Rafael Little, TB/KR, Kentucky. He was banged up last year and never got a chance to really show what he could do. But in 2005 he ran for over 1,000 yards and caught 46 passes for 449 yards. He is also the top punt returner in Kentucky history. Last season when he was healthy, Little averaged 22.6 yards on punt returns. If this guy can stay healthy the whole season, Kentucky is going to make some noise in the SEC East. He is just fun to watch.

HM: Andre Woodson, QB, Kentucky. He’s 6-5, 230 and led the SEC in passing yardage (3,515) and touchdown passes (31) last season. Threw only seven interceptions in over 400 passing attempts. He should be the All-SEC quarterback this season.

Thanks, Andy.

Too, here's hoping that Rafael is HEALTHY this season. If he remains healthy, I think this writer is so right that Rafael is one to PAY to see. :) GO CATS! GO RAFAEL!

Little averaged 22.6 yards on punt returns.
Is this correct? That must have been only a couple of punt returns. If that is correct and it is more than a 4-5 returns, that is insane. What a weapon. I am looking forward to a finally healthy Little. He can move when healthy.

I am suprised anyone ever kicks to us. Only 18 returns it pretty low. Probably a result of a porous defense/lots of takeaways.
