FIRST TEAM PRESEASON ALL-AMERICA

OFFENSE
QB	Brian Brohm	Louisville
RB	Darren McFadden	Arkansas
RB	Ray Rice	Rutgers
Where would you begin when trying to slow down this backfield? Brohm missed some action last year and still led the Big East with over 3000 passing yards. McFadden and Rice, meanwhile, were both among the nation's top five rushers, combining for over 3400 yards and 34 touchdowns on the ground.
WR	Jarrett Dillard	Rice
WR	Mario Manningham	Michigan
TE	Chase Coffman	Missouri
Neither Dillard nor Manningham is over 6'0" tall, but that doesn't keep these guys away from the football. While the Rice star was hauling 21 touchdowns and over 1200 yards worth of receptions last fall, Manningham was tallying up more than 700 yards and nine scores in just 9 games. Throw in Coffman's impressive production, almost 50 yards and a score per contest, and you have America's deadliest receiving trio.
OL	Sam Baker	Southern Cal
OL	Jake Long	Michigan
OL	Will Arnold	LSU
OL	Adam Spieker	Missouri
OL	George Robinson	Oklahoma
As if the above playmakers needed any help, there's no doubt they'd love to run behind a line that averages a height of 6'5" and a weight of 315 pounds. It's no surprise a number of these guys have led the way for several of college football's greatest running backs in recent memory, guys like Reggie Bush, Adrian Peterson, and Mike Hart.
DEFENSE
DL	Glenn Dorsey	LSU
DL	Calais Campbell	Miami (FL)
DL	Sedrick Ellis	Southern Cal
DL	Lawrence Jackson	Southern Cal
Is there any wonder why all three of these teams had rushing defenses ranked among the top 15 nationally last season? Dorsey and Ellis are the near-300 pound monsters in the middle, while Jackson and the 6'8" Campbell are the demons coming off the end of the line.
LB	Dan Connor	Penn State
LB	James Laurinaitis	Ohio State
LB	Keith Rivers	Southern Cal
Each of these three guys has the combination of speed, strength, and mindset that allows them to wreak havoc on opposing offenses. Both Connor and Laurinaitis had well over 100 tackles last season, and each of these guys had multiple sacks as well.
DB	Antoine Cason	Arizona
DB	Malcolm Jenkins	Ohio State
DB	Kenny Phillips	Miami (FL)
DB	Aqib Talib	Kansas
At an average height of 6'1" and an average weight of 200 pounds, all four of these guys play physical, yet each is extremely capable of covering America's top wideouts one-on-one. Led by Talib's six interceptions, each of these guys picked off at least 3 passes last year.
SPECIAL TEAMS
K	Art Carmody	Louisville
P	Durant Brooks	Georgia Tech
KR	Marcus Thigpen	Indiana
PR	DeSean Jackson	California
Carmody and Brooks were big reasons both of their teams were able to escape close contests last season and earn their way to New Year's Day bowl games. And if you're looking for drama, look no further than the returns of Thigpen and Jackson, two of America's most electric athletes.
