Quarterbacks & Running Backs

Lamar Jackson didn't finish the season as hot as he started it, but the full body of work stands up just fine. He's the first player in FBS history to throw for more than 3,300 yards and rush for more than 1,500 in the same season, he runs the country's No. 2 offense in yards per game, and among the nine QBs with 540 or more total passing and rushing plays, he leads in average yards per play (eight) by almost a full yard. His team lost two close games, one of them to Playoff-bound Clemson, and his offensive line disappeared against Houston. So repeat: 3,300 and 1,500.

D'Onta Foreman was by far 2016's most prolific running back, and he did that despite his team rarely having big leads that it needed to sit on.

Dalvin Cook was again one of the country's most explosive backs, ranking No. 4 in 10-yard runs, and he came up biggest in FSU's biggest (non-Louisville) games.
