I think Coach Cignetti is trying to make a point.

It's funny how a new outfit can change your attitude about a guy....

I am surprised that neither Raja Nelson nor Bryce Lance are on that list. There must be some very good FCS WRs.

PFF grades are interesting for banter but, especially at the FCS college level, it's a pretty subjective appraisal of whether a player did his job on any and all plays made by people who are probably about on par with your standard Bisonviller when it comes to understanding the nuances of the play they're evaluating. I'd guess, especially at positions like the o-line and the defensive front 7 where the schemes make it hard to gauge who messed up, it is quite difficult.
