All this week, we’re taking a fresh look, position by position, at how ACC teams stack up, from the best of the conference to the units that might surprise to the positions that will prove to be an Achilles' heel for some teams’ 2017 title hopes.
Next up: Running back
Of the top 10 leading rushers in the ACC in 2016, only two are set to return. One is Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson. The other is Miami running back Mark Walton, who rushed for 1,117 yards in 2016. Quick translation: This is a transition year at running back, where it is somewhat hard to tell who will emerge from a field full of talented but inexperienced players.
