2022 Offensive Outlook: “Need to replace the production of starting QB, the league’s leading rusher, and two All EPC linemen. Upfront three starters return on the O line. Four different members in the backfield received meaningful touches during the 2021 season and the receiving corp production is all back.

2022 Defensive Outlook: “The secondary should be a strength with the entire group returning and adding some talented young players. Five different linebackers return that played valuable minutes in 2021. Need to replace two All-League performers up front.”
