Unless you've been living under a rock all offseason, you've probably heard that Oregon Ducks tight end Kenyon Sadiq is projected to be a breakout star this season.
It didn't take long for him to deliver.
Less than six minutes into the season, Sadiq caught a short pass and appeared to be tackled for a short gain, but he tossed the would-be tackler aside and dashed into the endzone for a 20-yard touchdown:

That play immediately reignited the buzz from NFL draft experts that Sadiq is the overwhelming favorite to become the first tight end selected in next year's draft.
Crown him! #TE1

Not a bad start for the breakout player who had just two touchdowns last season.
Safe to say he'll top that mark quickly this fall.
