Top 30 ACC Players
1. DE Mathias Kiwanuka, Sr., Boston College
Kiwanuka put off NFL millions to come back for his senior year to be among the nation's best pass rushers. He's not just a sack artist, he's great against the run and has a long wing span that forces quarterback to adjust their throws. At 6-7 and 261 pounds, he's a bit rangy and has to handle being a marked man all year facing double and triple teams, but he'll be a sure All-American

2. LB Ahmad Brooks, Jr., Virginia
A top 15 draft pick whenever he decides to come out, the 6-4, 249-pound junior has tremendous range with cornerback speed and big-time hitting ability. He has 207 tackles over his first two seasons with 20 tackles for loss, 12 sacks and 26 quarterback hurries. He's also tremendous in pass coverage with two interceptions and ten broken up passes. How fast is he? He returned a few kickoffs averaging 27.5 yards per return.

that defensive first team would be stout if they all played together

 

[zagnut]

kind of bizarre that Hester is not 1st team CB but is considered one of the 10 best overall in the ACC. Also, I thought Cromartie was lost for the season.
