Paul Esden Jr: Did you ever think he had anywhere near this kind of potential when he was at Maryland?

"Chris Bengel (@CBengel_TSMD): A: I didn’t see anything close to this type of potential from Etta-Tawo. His best year at Maryland came as a freshman in 2013 when he caught 31 passes for 500 yards and two touchdowns. While with Syracuse, he’s already at 706 receiving yards and five touchdowns in 2015. I honestly didn’t expect this, but Etta-Tawo is a hard worker, so you could certainly make a case that it was doable."
