Multiple B1G players included in PFF's Top 10 position rankings for 2021 season
Spring is behind us which means it’s time to start looking ahead to the 2021 season. What better way than to evaluate the top returners in the sport?
Recently, Pro Football Focus (PFF) released the Top 10 returning players in college football at each position. Several B1G players were included in the breakdown.
The B1G had at least one representative at every position group except running back. Minnesota’s Mohamed Ibrahim probably would’ve been the best candidate, but he didn’t make the cut, according to PFF.
Below is the breakdown of each position group and where each B1G player ranks. You can view the complete list from PFF here:
