How many of the defensive players are eligible to come back next year? I think it’s everyone. Feels like we have a ton of experience back but we sneaky have a somewhat young defense. I went through and tried to figure out the eligibility for our defense and unless someone can point out an error I believe every player who saw the field Saturday can be back next year. Obviously it’s very unlikely everyone returns and this year has just started but gives the staff a ton of potential options looking ahead.
