    • Ryan Greene's Take: At 6-foot-5, Anthony's development took a while, but the senior's frame and now-reliable hands make him a red zone threat to complement Phillip Payne. After Payne went down with a concussion late in 2008, Anthony rose up and finished with 17 catches for 227 yards and three scores. He'll play a bigger role this season as UNLV's No. 3 receiver.
