Mavric Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Safety: Jamal Adams, LSU; Nathan Gerry, Nebraska Adams took his game to a new level in 2016, stepping up as a complete defensive back and one of the best all round players in the nation. Outstanding against the run and coming up to tackle receivers on short passes, Adams has seen 33 of his 55 tackles result in a defensive stop. He has improved in coverage in general too, and played a key part in LSU all but shutting out Ole Miss tight end Evan Engram when the two teams met this year. Like Adams, Gerry keeps his place here from mid-season, excelling in coverage with a PFF grade of 88.7, coming away with four interceptions and six pass breakups and impressing against the run too.

Mavric Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 I guess one man's third-team all-conference is another man's All-American. 2 Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Also named second-team all-american by USA Today. Interesting that he's getting more attention nationally than from the B1G Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Congrats to Nate. Comparing apples to apples, I think he got jobbed. Better stats thanks Adams and Hooker......But that's just me..... http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2016/12/08/usa-today-sports-all-america-college-football-team/95112928/ Quote Link to comment

shyndy Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Yeah that makes the big 10 coaches selections seem pretty sketchy. Quote Link to comment
Touchdown Tommie Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 It is pretty crazy how this all shakes out. What is the difference between the BIG voting and National? Seems very strange!! Quote Link to comment

Seems very strange!!well one was the media so they are each going to pump their own guys some. The other was coaches so I guess just for some reason the big coaches didn't really like him?

I understand he is your guy but Hooker had a great year and is one of the main reasons why Ohio State is in the playoff. Quote Link to comment
