Every year, we do a countdown leading up to football season involving the best football players from the Mid-American Conference. The MAC, founded in 1946, will be turning 70 after this athletic season is over with, so for each year of #MACtion, we're going to give you a football player to talk about.
Our countdown to football season will begin on Thursday with the no. 70 player in the MAC, counting down the list, day-by-day, until we get to the season. We'll be updating this table as we go along, and we'll be sure to have some arguments about where players end up on here too.
