15. Colorado LB Addison Gillam

The particulars: 6-foot-3, 225 pounds, junior

The skinny: Gillam is an avid disc golfer (for the uninitiated, it's also called Frisbee golf), but he sure doesn't play football like a Frisbee player. He is active and physical and has made 171 tackles in his first two seasons with the Buffs. Gillam ran track in high school (he was on a 4x100 relay team that qualified for the California state championships), so he gets to where he wants to be relatively quickly -- and he usually arrives in a nasty mood.

Disc golf is the ultimate Colorado hippie sport. He's going to fit in just fine.

Disc golf is a great choice for our players. Beats skiing, motocross riding, and all those other things that end up with busted knees and broken ribs.

Tossing a frisbee could give you what? A sore shoulder or a blister on your release finger.
 
Disc golf is a great outdoor activity that people at very different fitness levels can still have fun doing together regularly

Plus you can smoke weed and drink beer while playing and no one cares. We have a great course in golden gate park.
 
I'm expecting a huge come back year for Gillam. I hope, hope, hope that all of his physical issues from last year are gone forever. If he regains the trajectory he had his freshman year, he will be a major factor in our defensive improvement that we have to have to achieve the goals we all have.

He has unbelievable instincts and speed. Even last year when he was sick, underweight and had a dinged up arm, he would still manage to make these plays in the backfield, or somehow slice his way, untouched through blockers to make a tackle. I am excited to see what The Skinny: Gillam can do this year when healthy too!

I believe that covers both instigator and responder. Orr is a visionary.
 
Instincts for a lb are probably more important than anything. Love him or hate him, Ray Lewis had incredible instincts.
