Denard "most dynamic player" per Mullen
"I recruited Denard out of high school, (and) I knew he was a special player there. I knew he was fast and he was explosive and he was a special player there. He certainly hasn't taken a step back from those days to the player he's become. He can throw the ball, he can hurt you with his legs … he's going to be the most dynamic football player we've faced."
Heavy praise considering they faced Auburn, good to see Denard getting some props.

Great to hear Denard getting the respect he deserves, I know Urban was talking him up earlier in the season.
I just have a feeling that Mullen would be saying the same thing about Cam Newton if his next opponent was Auburn. I'll be more impressed if Mullen is talking about Denard like that after Denard runs all over that Mississippi State defense.

I'm hoping that he gets recognized at some point as the most likeable personality in college football.

Denard would definitely win a "Mr. Congeniality" award

Everybody loves this guy. How can you not. He is a great person and an outstanding football player. Glad to see he is respected around the country.

Better believe he better give props to Denard. Can't wait to watch Denard tear up a SEC D.

While Denard is getting some recognition, I'm glad he is as humble as can be. That gains as much respect for what you can do on the field as anything, IME.

Much more realistic than the delusional Bilema saying he wouldn't recruit that.

instead of mullen and was about to make a remark about switching him to WR
but high praise from a man who has seen all the speed of the SEC (/s)

Awesome seeing Denard getting the props he deserves.

He will have his chance to see first hand what Dilithium speed is all about. A 300/300 yard game would really educate Mullen!

I thought Florida recruited Denard as a CB so its fun to see Denard progress and become a "dynamic player" in front of our bowl opponent. I wonder if Mullen would have used Denard like Percy Harvin or as a QB.
