With ACC media days behind us, fall camps are starting soon and the season is a mere month away.
One of my favorite parts of media festivities is the release of the All-ACC team. This year's squad looks stellar, with more than a few guys who will be making a living on Sundays.
Offense
It comes as no surprise that NC State sophomore QB Russell Wilson is first-team. He blew up the scene in '08, leading the ACC in passing efficiency and had an eye-popping 17-to-1 TD and INT ratio.

The running back slots are taken by 2008 Player of the Year Jonathan Dwyer and Heisman hopeful CJ Spiller from Clemson. They are hands down the best backs in the conference, but both are easily top five in the nation.
The wide receiver position is lacking a little this year with a slew of graduations and drafts. Clemson's Jacoby Ford and his sub-2.0 40-speed (yes, that's an exaggeration; driving home exactly how fast this guy is) should see a significant rise in catches with Aaron Kelly gone, and Demaryius Thomas should benefit from Georgia Tech apparently planning on passing more.
The tight end slot is pretty steady with Virginia Tech's Greg Boone. If QB Tyrod Taylor can manage to pass a little more in '09, Boone will be a great option.
The offensive line is as steady as any all-conference team in the nation. The running backs at Boston College have to be smiling ear to ear with two of their big guys good enough to make all-conference.
I have to give a nod to Miami's Jason Fox as top OL though, he did not allow a sack last season—impressive to say the least.
His teammate, kicker Matt Bosher, rounds out the offense. Bosher was deadly accurate last year, nailing all 40 PATs and hitting on 18 of 20 attempts, including a 52-yarder.
