With the 2021 NC State football season coming into view, The Wolfpacker is using Pro Football Focus (PFF) ratings to rank the 25 best players on the Wolfpack's roster.
The rankings are based on last season's PFF ratings, and the rankings only include players who played at least 100 snaps least season on offense or defense — with the exception of specialists. Let's get into the rankings, starting with No. 25.
No. 25 — Redshirt freshman offensive lineman Dylan McMahon
PFF Offense Grade: 59.0
Don't let McMahon's redshirt freshman title fool you, the 6-4, 300-pounder has about a season's worth of starting experience entering his third year in the program.
McMahon has earned eight starts in 13 career appearances. Seven of those starts were during the Pack's final nine contests last season, and his only other was against Clemson in 2019.
He played most of his snaps at right guard but was used sparingly at left guard. According to PFF, McMahon forfeited just one sack last season but was also tagged with 11 quarterback hurries and four penalties.
