PFF reveals preseason All-Big Ten Team for 2022 season
The preseason AFCA Coaches Poll came out on Monday and the Wolverines start out the season ranked No. 6 in the eyes of coaches.
Pro Football Focus also came out with its All-Conference Teams on Monday for each respective college football conference.
When it comes to Michigan, it was highly represented on all three teams, but the Wolverines were tied with the Buckeyes with six representatives for First-Team All-Big Ten according to PFF.
PFF has Blake Corum, Erick All, Mazi Smith, DJ Turner, Jake Moody, and Brad Robbins all on the First-Team All-Big Ten.
The Wolverines had four players on Second-Team All-Big Ten. Donovan Edwards, Ronnie Bell, Ryan Hayes, and Olu Oluwatimi were chosen to represent Michigan by Pro Football Focus.
Michigan only has one player on the Third Team and honorable mention which was guard Zak Zinter and Cade McNamara respectively.
So overall PFF has 12 total players on its preseason All-Conference team. There are a few players that we feel could easily make one of those teams when the season ends like Cornelius Johnson, Junior Colson, Rod Moore, and R.J. Moten to name a few.
You can see all three teams and honorable mention starting on the next page.
