Briggs: Toledo's Gilliam represents the best of college athletics

Watch Reggie Gilliam on Saturdays, and it should be no surprise the Toledo tight end earned his degree in marketing.

What can the man say?

“I like to promote other people,” Gilliam said. “I want to make other people look good.”

And so he does just that.

If by chance Gilliam gets the ball, great. He has two catches for 11 yards this season. If not, that’s cool, too. The former walk-on-turned-two-time-captain is the wood-paneled station wagon of Toledo football. What he lacks in style, he makes up for in utility, his land-clearing blocks getting the Rockets to their destination right on time.
