2016 CFB Player Rankings, Spring Practice

By John Laub

For the CFB Diehards like myself, April is one of the most anticipated months of the calendar. During the early spring, college teams across the nation practice and conclude the training sessions with inter-squad games. It is the first look at the new rosters without last season’s stars as well as the incoming freshmen and JUCO transfers for the fantasy football fanatics. 

 

In anticipation of the upcoming crusade, I have provided CFB fanatics a first-look at the top twenty CFB prospects at QB, RB and WR. I hope you enjoy the early rankings.

 

The CFB ‘16 Playbook will be available in early summer on FootballDiehards.com with updated rankings, profiles and projections.
