Denard Robinson

The fuss during the 2011 preseason over whether Robinson would still produce without the Rich Rodriguez offense turned out to be unwarranted, though Robinson's numbers did predictably decline slightly after his circus-like 2010 season. Still, he passed for 2,173 yards and 20 touchdowns while running for 1,176 yards and 16 touchdowns. The problem entering 2012 is that his schedule looks brutal – Alabama and Ohio State could both be shutdown defenses, while Michigan State, Nebraska and Iowa are also historically good bets to rank among the nation's best. Robinson could single-handedly win weeks for his owners against opponents like Air Force, UMass, Purdue, Minnesota and Northwestern, but his hit-or-miss look gives him a lower floor than some of the other top candidates.
