With our position previews in the books, it’s time to make some assessments of the roster as a whole. In this Wildcat Throwaround, a few of our staffers discuss which Northwestern position group is the strongest heading into the 2017 season. Let us know what you think in the comments.
Tristan Jung: For me, the best position group will be running back. Justin Jackson is one of the best Big Ten running backs of the last three seasons, and he’s got depth behind him even without Warren Long. John Moten IV, Auston Anderson and the young guns (Jeremy Larkin and Jesse Brown) are a solid core to build around behind Jackson.
