It was just really enjoyable to see Cassel get better every week and make really good plays.

Apparently Cassel was a two-way player in high school (QB and safety, not at all unusual) who was known for being an absolutely punishing hitter. He also came very close to moving to TE at USC, since he was stuck behind Leinart and Palmer. He's a tough kid.
From what I've read, he actually did make the switch to TE and ended up catching a couple passes and making some tackles on special teams. But he ended up deciding he was a better QB and wasn't ready to give up on his dream.
