When the season ended, Michigan State knew it wasted a major opportunity. The Spartans had fielded one of their best defenses in school history yet the offense couldn’t capitalize.
Guys like Joe Bachie, Raequan Williams, Andrew Dowell, Kenny Willekes, Justin Layne and Khari Willis helped lead one of the top defenses in the Big Ten. All of those guys are draft prospects, but only Dowell, Layne and Willis are headed to the NFL this year.
Layne left a year early and is considered one of the top cornerbacks in the class, Dowell is just hoping to hear his name called on draft day and Willis was looked at as a Day 3 pick.
