    To me, "elite" has to mean something. It's like "top 5%". "Elite" would mean first or second team All-SEC. I don't think that's been earned yet, which is good...it means more when earned rather than given.

    This has evolved into a weird thread to me, now arguing about whether a Gator player is Elite or not, whatever that means.
    I'm just happy both Badger and Wilson are here, we need all the playmakers we can get.

    Carry on.

    I just don't buy the idea that Wilson only looked good because he was the best of the worst. That his other WR's were so bad he had to look good by default. The dude can be a great slot reciever and cause some problems.

    I wonder how many teams are kicking themselves because they took a flyer on Badger because they were too concerned about his injury. The dude now leads the nation in avg yards per reception at just over 22.0 yds

    Genuinely enjoying watching him each week. His ability to make incredible catches is putting a bunch of stress on the defenses. He has stretched the field of play forcing the defense to spread and defend the entire length of the field.

    Back injuries can be iffy…I know from personal experience. It concerned me as well when I saw it. It’s great to see him overcome it.
