If there’s one thing that became crystal clear as the Kansas State Wildcats emerged from spring football, it’s that this team is loaded with offensive playmakers. That was obvious in the Purple & White Spring Game despite the absence of at least three of the team’s top playmakers, including starting quarterback Jesse Ertz, who sat out the game with injuries.

Boiling down the list of talent to a Top 10 list proved to be nearly impossible. What does one do with backup quarterbacks who may not play often, but could find themselves thrust into action if Ertz is injured again? K-State goes five deep at running back, so is it possible to find spots for redshirt freshmen backs Tyler Burns and Mike McCoy? And there are also six, yes six, receivers worth noting, so how does one wedge that together? And how about cornerback D.J. Reed, who will be a legitimate scoring threat as a kickoff returner?

OK, so expand the list to 15 and then … nope, there’s still not room. Thus, there’s the problem facing the K-State coaching staff. There are so many potential playmakers and just one football to share at a time. Good luck.
