[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 879366"] Actually, Gary was first team All Big 10 in in both 2017 and 2018 according to the conference's web site. Other polls may have been different.

Here's the most extreme case I can think of: Pat Fitzgerald, currently the Northwestern coach, a guy we may recall was in the discussion as a possible McCarthy successor. In the mid-1990's Fitzgerald was a two-time Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year; a two-time concensus All-American; and a two-time winner of both the Bronco Nagurski Award and the Chuck Bednarik awards, different polls naming the best defensive player in college football. Of course, he's in the College Football Hall of Fame. Fitzgerald wasn't even drafted. He signed as a UDFA with the Cowboys, was cut after two preseason games, and that was the end of his pro career. He wan't injured nor was there any other factor than he was simply too slow. Sure, that's exteme, but it just goes to show that these polls can be way off, or even a little off, when projecting to the pros. [/QUOTE]
