OBNUG Roundtable: Who was the most improved player in 2016?

These ones are always hard. But I will go with Archie Lewis.

Last year, when Rees Odhiambo was lost for the season due to injury, Mr. Lewis stepped in, and honestly...he struggled a bit. There were definitely some questions there and that probably led to the staff to bring in Will Adams (graduate transfer from Auburn) for immediate depth. That move even caused some folks to project Adams as starter at left tackle. For me, Mr. Lewis took this competition in stride and succeeded. Yes, there was that unpleasant....sacking of Brett Rypien

But he kept his starting job (for the most part he started 8 of 13) and protected Rypien's blindside.
