CHICAGO -- All told, Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook, center Jack Allen and defensive end Shilique Calhoun appear on the watch lists of 11 major postseason awards.

Whether they win any of those honors will depend greatly on the success of the Spartans, who are ranked No. 6 in the preseason Amway Coaches Poll, and their surrounding cast will be vital to team and individual aspirations.

With that in mind, every player wearing a Michigan State jersey is on the Cook, Allen and Calhoun Watch List based on the outlook they provided at Big Ten Football Media Days, which concluded on Friday.
