I thought that Ashton was the most talented player on the roster during his tenure on the Hill. In his first year at RB he showed some real ability, but didn't get much playing time. He ran hard and was not easy to bring down. Reportedly, his failure to learn the blocking schemes was as much a reason for his being moved as anything. Had he stayed at RB he would have been a good threat catching the ball out of the backfield as well.

A lot is made of his lack of TD's and yes, he did drop several sure TD passes over the middle, however, I think that not scoring is more of a team problem than just Broyld. Other than Hunt, who else has done any prolific scoring? Also, in his defense he didn't have the most accurate or timely QB's throwing to him and he was still one of the leading receivers.

Broyld isn't the first player to be caught up in a program that for a variety of reasons (coaching changes, schemes etc) couldn't figure out how to use his talents. BTW, why was he never used to throw a pass?

I would really like to see the kid have a great senior year but I am not sure what Lester's offense will really be so it is hard to say if it will give Broyld the chance to have a big season. If Lester can't figure out how to use him, I will be really disappointed - not surprised, but disappointed.
