LITTLE ROCK — Upstaged by a creative co-worker, the options were to plagiarize, ignore, or congratulate.
Nice job on the insightful top 25 countdown, Eric Bolin. GateHouse Media’s Razorback beat writer, Bolin got my attention when he began the first of his five-part series with offensive tackle Denver Kirkland at the bottom of his list.
After all, the 6-foot-5 offensive lineman could be All-SEC this year and is a legitimate NFL prospect, a reputation that prompted a closer read of Bolin’s premise which is that the list is not one of the best players or the ones most likely to win postseason awards or have a lengthy pro career.
