Sure, it would be easy for us to fill out this countdown with 25 gloryboy WRs or RBs or QBs. Maybe throw in an occasional safety or DB to appear unbiased and like we know football. It would be a Jon Gruden-esque complimentkakke where we heap things like “high motor” or “football IQ” on a player that already gets lauded enough by fans, media, and most every sorority on campus. The Belt ain’t about that life.
We owe it to you, the reader, the best 25 examples of who to watch out for this season as you get your MACtion on throughout the Rust Belt, glory be damned.
