Terry combined to rush and pass for 2,000 yards with 21 scores last season. He'll utilize WRs E.J. Spurlock and Darrius Simmons, as well as hand off to RB Alexander Powell. On defense, Daniel Hinson leads the way at LB along with Chris Cargill. Up front, Darion Turner, Logan Luce, Jermaine Black and Jermaine McMorris should get the job done. A top tier finish in the conference is not impossible.
