247Sports and ProFootballFocus combined their forces together yesterday to reveal the Top-20 highest graded ACC players returning in 2018, and NC State boasts 4 of them. PFF is the best in the business at grading football players, scoring them on every single play, giving them a grade on a 1-100 scale.
2) QB Ryan Finley – 89.5
The Wolfpack return the 112th most production in the country, according to SB Nation, but they should be just fine on offense thanks to Finley’s presence. Overshadowed a bit in the ACC by the likes of Jackson, Finley had an outstanding junior season throwing for 3,200 yards, 16 touchdowns against six interceptions and completing 65 percent of his passes.
