This week’s list:
Forty-two Big Ten players descend upon Chicago later this week for the league’s annual media days. Here’s 10 who should receive plenty of attention:
Connor Cook, Michigan State
He’s popular because ... he led the Spartans to wins at the Rose Bowl and Cotton Bowl the last two seasons. With Ohio State not sending its trio of quarterbacks, he’s the most recognizable and most proven name in Chicago.
Tommy Armstrong Jr., Nebraska
He’s popular because ... one of five quarterbacks attending, Armstrong will face inquiries about new coach Mike Riley, old coach Bo Pelini and everything in between.
