5. Amari Rodgers is an impact player

I know everyone wants to talk about the talent and skill of Justyn Ross and Tee Higgins, but Amari Rodgers is absolutely an impact player.

Rodgers was the top performer on the offense and had two touchdowns, including an impressive 87-yard scamper that put the game out of reach.

He has sure hands and is going to be a major contributor for the Tigers going forward and teams are going to have to account for him.

Also, expect to see Rodgers begin to share time with Derion Kendrick at punt returner as the season progresses.
