To me, Stevie Johnson is the most surprising player so far. Honestly have you seen a Bill improving this much from last season since Eric Moulds in 1998? Peerless' 2002 season came close or Jason Peters breakout season. This guy is just so dynamic; he's not as strong as Moulds nor as fast as Peerless, which leads me to believe it will be hard for opponent to take him out easily like some of the receivers relying on one specific trait all the time.
Having said that, I'm not going to go along with some here calling for extending him right now. Look, double teams are coming, guys named like Revis will be on him, DC will break out his film to their team more and more, you can bet on that. Let's see if he can still run his routes and get open.
The most disappointing player is Byrd. So much hope on this talent starved team that he was viewed as the most talented guy on this team before the season started. This is the 10th game and it looks like most team members have picked up enough 3-4 to become more effective. Not Byrd. Still not making any sort of impact.
