7. Jack Conklin, Michigan State Spartans, 6-6, 317 lbs.: Conklin is the definition of an All-Big Ten offensive tackle with his insane consistency in protecting his passer. During his career at Michigan State, Conklin has only allowed 2.5 sacks. If there is further proof needed of his dominance, doubters need to turn to the Spartan’s Cotton Bowl victory and watch Conklin frustrate Shawn Oakman every play.
