The Big Ten is known for churning out star linemen and linebackers, but it's not an easy time to be a quarterback in the conference, either.
That's because of a lineup of stars at cornerback, including the first Jim Thorpe Award winner ever to return to college football in the 30-year history of the award.
Three of the four defensive backs named to First-Team All-Big Ten by the coaches are returning. And that's just the start of this list.
