When Josh Downs snared a pass from Sam Howell and darted into the end zone for a 75-yard touchdown in the Orange Bowl last January, he sent a message to Texas A&M fans in that part of the stadium and anyone else paying attention. Downs had arrived. Fast, quick, super glue on his hands, and the kind of moxie befitting a brash wide receiver. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
