I was wrong about 2 players...

Yes, I was thoroughly unimpressed with the signing of Teo and Ginn.

But both exceeded my expectations and I'm pretty sure they surpassed most of you guys' expectations as well.

Both ended up being great fits on our team

Who else surprised you guys with performing much better than you thought they would?

Be honest, I'm a forum search guru!!!

TLL...he's turning out to be a pretty darn good punt returner.

Ginn is so-so for me, had a huge play and then followed it up with a tipped ball that gave Atlanta life. Not to mention his constant running out of bounds.

Te'o has been a very nice surprise, he knifes through blockers well and makes solid tackles.

As stated above, TLL is above average on punt returns and isn't afraid to run north and south.

The defense as a whole played outstanding, they have faced adversity all year with multiple injuries but never backed down.

Alex Okafor. Figured he'd be a decent rotational guy. He ended up playing great. Hope he's back next year.

Another one for me, sort of.

I thought he'd be a decent DE, but certainly exceeded my expectations.

I just never thought Teo and Ginn would have been as good as they have been.
Everyone else is about as I expected, plus/minus a notch or two.

I was wrong about "why are we drafting a rb when we have Ingram and AP"?
