No matter how hard they try to focus downfield, most quarterbacks can't help but check their blind spots for the most feared player on the football field.
It's the pass-rusher, and every year, there are players who emerge as unblockable forces who shore up defenses and blow up plays before they start.
From a stable of stud linemen in the ACC to a pair of difference-makers in the SEC and Big Ten to an unheralded prospect on the national scale who already has proven himself in his league, college football is full of elite players who are born and bred to chase quarterbacks like some dogs herd cattle.
