Chris Jones and DPE named first team all conference by Athlon. If both can play at all-conference level it would seriously bolster NU's chances at a title run.

Imho we havent had a lockdown corner since Dennard graduated and the freedom that having one gives a DC is huge. Hopefully Jones can cement himself in that role.
I love watching DPE play football as do Husker fans in general, I would imagine. He has fantastic open field ability and has turned into a solid WR. His ability to change the game on punt returns is perhaps his greatest asset, however. If he truly is back to his old self it could be the difference in a game or 2.
Hopefully both are on this list at season's end along with several of their buddies.
P.S. Nick Gates and Drew Brown were named as well, 2nd team and honorable mention, respectively.
