The 2010 Marcus McCullough-Mix Award

It's that time of year again where we identify that scrappy young late round/free agent player with the seemingly impossible uphill climb to make the final roster who will turn heads during the preseason and be the source of many a thread over the next four weeks.

Who will be this year's preseason hero?

Mod Note: Colt Brennan is not mentioned in the thread title because we don't take the Colt's name in vain...Chase Daniel isn't because neither his first nor last name begin with M

Malcolm Kelly.

Oh wait, he won't impress anyone this preseason.

I'm putting my money in the Anthony Armstrong camp. Sorry Brandon Banks, I just don't see room for a small guy who has speed but has a fumbling/weight/can't catch problem.

Can we include Beck? I can totally see him shining against the scrubs this preseason and getting everyone all hot and bothered.

He'd be Someone Else I suppose. Thought about including him, but I don't know that he has such a difficult climb to make the roster

I actually totally forgot to include Keiland Williams. Want to update the poll with Beck and Williams, or leave as is?

Yeah Beck's climb isn't impossible for sure, I can just see him getting some lovin' from the Cult of Colters who will be on the rebound.

I'm a Keiland Williams-ite, but I'm going to go with a little bit of a surprise here, and say Anderson Russell could make the team -- or at least the final cut.

What about Terrence Austin? :)

I am going with Williams, though as I like the idea of keeping to young guys and two vets.

So I am going someone else.

IF we are talking about someone who will light it up in preseason and not make the team though.... hmmm. I have to get my reading comprehension down!

I'll change my vote to Shay Hodge. Has a good preseason but doesn't make the team.
