Just for the heck of it, I decided to go back to 2017, the year our offense really took off, and tally All-ACC selections by position group.
QB: 1st- 0
2nd- 2 (Wolford '17, Hartman '21)
3rd- 0
RB: 1st- 0
2nd- 0
3rd- 0
WR/TE: 1st- 4 (Serigne '17, Dortch '18 as AP, Surratt '19, Perry '21)
2nd- 3 (Dortch '17 as AP, Roberson '20, Roberson '21)
3rd- 1 (Hinton '19,
OL: 1st- 1 (Tom '21)
2nd- 2 (R. Anderson '17, P. Haynes '18)
3rd- 5 (J. Herron '17, P. Haynes '17, J. Herron '19, N. Gilliam '19, S Maginn '21)
There's a pretty obvious gap there. In part, it's due to how we rotate backs, but I also think it's partly because, apart from Walker, we've had a bunch of good backs, but none who were great, much less elite. Hopefully Claiborne and Pickett will start a new trend.
