This is a friendly reminder that this countdown is a list of most important players, not the best player. K.D. Nixon, #14 on our countdown, is surely one of the ten best players on the team, but he’s better than he is important, and not at all in a bad way. The reason why is because although he’s a stud receiver, he’s playing in a loaded receiving corps that includes a college football megastar and plenty of depth behind him. He’s a better player than Arlington Hambright — who is next on this countdown — but Hambright plays a crucial position without much depth behind him.
