College Football's 2017 Postseason All-America Team
With college football’s 2017 regular season in the books and bowl season already underway, it’s time to take a look back and honor the best of the best and top performers for the All-America team. Whether it was on offense, defense or special teams, there were no shortage of clutch performances by players at every position. Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield claimed first-team All-America honors at quarterback, with last season's winner (Lamar Jackson) taking honors on the second team.
As usual, it’s never easy assembling fourth All-America teams. There are plenty of standout performers that won’t make the cut, but we tried to blend talent, production and consistency to form the top four teams.
