The 'ACC Football Players of the Year' quiz

This time last year, Philip Rivers was less than a month away from returning to the NFL after four years of the league. 

Now, it looks like he’s turning in his cleats for a whistle for good as he takes on the job of head coach at North Carolina State.

Rivers played at NC State from 2000-03, racking up 13,484 yards and 95 touchdowns in 49 career games, finishing seventh in Heisman Trophy voting and winning ACC Player of the Year as a senior. He’s still the program’s all-time leader in both categories – with fellow interviewee Russell Wilson sitting in second place –  and his son Gunner has already committed to play for the Wolfpack. 

After almost a decade and a half under Dave Doeren, NC State parted ways mid-season with their all-time winningest coach following a loss to Stanford. Now, they’ll turn to one of their proudest alumni to shepherd their program into the new era of college football.

Which brings us to today’s quiz.  Rivers is still the most recent NC State player to be named ACC Player of the Year. With that being said, how many of the ACC Players of the Year since 2000 can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
