Ellis Hobbs vs. Tony Allen

Now on to two fo the more underrated players in this tournament.

Ellis Hobbs:
earned All-Big 12 Conference first-team honors as a senior
received the Academic Athlete of the Year Award
was a finalist for Christian Athlete of the Year at ISU
When everyone was injured Hobbs stepped up to the challenge, snagging three interceptions, and earning 371 yards on 15 kickoff returns in his rookie season.
He will be a starting cornerback this year for the Patriots and has a lot of skill to bring to the secondary.
Pissed off LT by doing the "Lights Out" dance when the Pats beat the Chargers in the playoffs.

Tony Allen:

Is a great off the bench player
was selected to play for the rookies in the Got Milk? Rookie Challenge during All-Star Weekend
frequently assists the Celtics in charity work in and around the Boston area
Wants to become a teacher when he retires
Stepped Up as a leader when Pierce was injured.
became the first player in OSU history to score 1,000 career points in just two seasons

My Vote: Ellis Hobbs because he will be more of an impact player in the starting lineup.
