Vickers' emergence this spring has surprised me but it's great to see.
Im always skeptical of the spring warrior that fades in the fall as other players arrive and/or return from injury. Vickers certainly is at risk of falling into that category with the incredible amount of talent on the defensive line that will be there in the fall. But at least for the time being, the converted defensive end is making the most of his opportunity and appears to be carving out at least a spot in the rotation. Hes arguably the strongest player on the team, and still has much of his speed from being a pass-rushing end in high school despite packing on close to 60 pounds in the past few years. Coaches and teammates are raving about him. Look for him to, at the very least, be a contributor in 2015.
