Few players are so great that they transcend their position. Rather than being a great lineman or a great quarterback or a great linebacker, some guys are just great football players. They do everything well.
In my view, Myles Gaskin is one of the best football players in UW history. He does everything well and makes the entire team better.
Hard to believe his last game at Husky Stadium is this Saturday.

The way tyrone wheatley ran the ball against Steve Hoffmann vs how he would’ve ran against Steve Emtman was so stark that it boggles the mind.
I feel the cal and oregon games were both losses that WOULD have gone the other way if Myles was completely healthy.
Every CFB fan across the country knows Browning’s name. Nobody east of Salt Lake City has heard of MMFG.
I was a student when Kaufman was at UW. The guy was viewed as a God from the moment he stepped foot on campus. I don't think Myles is perceived the same way, and Kaufman had better QBs, better defenses and a better offensive line.
Napolean and Myles have different skillsets, but I think that Myles belongs in that rare company with Mcelhenny, Kaufman, and Dillon in terms of RBs. And - as I said in my original post - I think he is one of the greatest football players (regardless of position) in UW history.
When Nip showed up the running game was king and O linemen could be the star of the recruiting class
I remember when Lincoln Kennedy was a freshman standing on the sidelines because Freshmen linemen didn't play under James all that often, marveling at his size and can't waiting to see him play
Now that football is 7 on 7 the QB is the guy and they all get stats
1. 86 Yds. (TD) Southern Miss, 2015
2. 78 (TD) Sacramento State, 2015
3. 72 (TD) 0reg0n, 2015

5. 68 0reg0n, 2016
6. 65 (TD) 0reg0n, 2016

He's clearly not as explosive as he once was. I'm sure the injuries have a lot to do with that. He's a warrior.
In my opinion, he took the world completely by surprise in 2015. Nobody knew who he was.
In 2016 teams were trying to figure out how to stop John Ross and Dante Pettis. That is the year that browning won pac-12 player of the year, so Gaskin benefited from an historic year passing.
In 2017 and especially in 2018 (this year) teams now realize that if you stop the run and pressure browning, you can beat UW. Myles Gaskin became the focal point for opposing defenses.
Fuck it. He is as good as any Husky RB I’ve ever seen, and as valuable as any of the great players we’ve had (yes, Emtman, Marques, etc.).
