2017 Best Football Players in the MAC: #16 Warren Ball, RB, Akron Zips

It might surprise some that we would have a guy with 370 career rushing yards as the 16th best player in the MAC. Our reasoning is simple. If he stays healthy, there is almost no doubt that he will be one of the top players in the league. In fact, I would argue the 16 ranking might be a little low.

Warren Ball took the long way to get to the Akron Zips. The 6’1, 225 lb, Columbus, Ohio, native started his career at Ohio State. Things didn’t work out for him in his hometown, mainly because he was behind current NFL running backs Carlos Hyde and Ezekiel Elliott on the depth chart.
