Honorable Mention:
RB Corey Lewis (Northern Iowa)


Really? Was 1,500+ yards not good enough?

[Scooter]

That's a pretty good list. It will be fun to see if these guys perform as billed. I don't put much stock in preseason polls or rankings, but they are fun to look at in the off season.

[Houndawg]

Some of our guys are so good they made the team at positions they don't play. xoopsx James Cloud isn't a DL and Chauncy Mixon isn't a DB. Both are OLBs.
