- All players had to graduate from the one of the 17 ACC football schools (Notre Dame is an independent so none of their fantastic players made this team). That means even if they played 4 years at an ACC school but graduated from a non ACC school, they are considered a non ACC graduate (Russell Wilson is a great example, though he would make this list anyways).
- The player just has to be a graduate of the school, not played at that school while in the ACC. With all the realignment within conferences schools are where they are now not where they were then. Stanford, Cal, and SMU are ACC schools now and therefore all their former players are eligible. I selected 11 starters for each side and 4 special teams players. For offense I based my selections on an 11 base offense (one RB, one TE, and 3 WR), while defense is based on a nickel package (2 edge, 2 interior DL, 2 LBs, and 5 DBs). I also selected a backup for each spot and since this is a UNC site, if a North Carolina player wasn’t mentioned and one was available for the position, I created a Tar Heel spotlight for that position. I am breaking this team up into three groupings today is offense, Wednesday will be defense, and Thursday will be special teams and coaches. Though it wasn’t a necessity, I was able to find at least one player from each school whether as the starter or backup in at least one of the three groups. So without further ado here is the All-ACC NFL Offense.
