Gophers on the list so far:

David Cobb: T-94 The Minnesota workhorse seemed to gain strength with every carry despite taking a heavy pounding thanks to his 314 carries. Cobb rushed for 1,626 yards and 13 touchdowns and helped turn the Gophers into one of the most pleasant surprises in the league.

B10 Players

Devin Smith OSU: 92

Pretty small crop of guys from the B10 so far. Will be interesting to see the list as it continues to come out and also to see where Maxx ranks and if any other Gophers find their way onto the list.

Maxx in at T-68; I imagine he'll be the last Gopher player ranked.

Maxx Williams: T-68 Williams' best catch at Minnesota was one of his last. His double-hurdle, 54-yard touchdown against Missouri in the Citrus Bowl will probably help the redshirt sophomore's draft status. He was the Gophers' most consistent option in the passing game and finished the year with 36 catches and eight touchdowns.

ESPN: Season's best Big Ten players: Nos. 16-20

No. 20: Briean Boddy-Calhoun, CB, Minnesota

Whenever Minnesota needed a big play on defense, Boddy-Calhoun seemed to find himself near the ball. He forced seven turnovers, including a long interception return in a close game against Ohio State and a win-clinching fumble near the goal line against Nebraska late in the season. Boddy-Calhoun started the season second on the Gophers' depth chart at cornerback, but ended as a first-team all-conference pick.

No. 17: Maxx Williams, TE, Minnesota

The 6-foot-4, 250-pound Williams used his big frame to provide Minnesota with a reliable option in an otherwise limited passing attack this season. He declared for the draft after leading the Gophers with 36 catches (twice as many as anyone else on the roster) for 569 yards and eight touchdowns. His last score, a hurdling 54-yard run against Mizzou, showed the athleticism that made him the league's top tight end.

ESPN: Season's best Big Ten players: Nos. 6-10

No. 9: David Cobb, RB, Minnesota

The 220-pound Texan put Minnesota's offense on his back for much of the season. Cobb set single-season team records for both carries (314) and rush yards (1,626), and logged seven 100-yard rushing performances. The second-team All-Big Ten selection had big performances against both Ohio State (145 yards) and Michigan (183 yards) and reached the end zone in each of his final six Big Ten games. Minnesota's offense lacked balance at times, but Cobb kept the chains moving.
