GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Brandon Powell could only smile and nod when presented with a surprising compliment from an opposing coach.

The praise?

"Florida, they have the best receivers in the SEC," an SEC offensive assistant told ESPN earlier this year.

Powell's response?

"We have playmakers everywhere," the lone senior receiver said with a grin plastered on his face. "It's going to be hard to stop us when we get it all together."

Powell didn't seem caught off guard by the statement, but to most of the outside world, that might be a little jarring.
