2017 preseason All-ACC team: Jaylen Samuels, Bradley Chubb, A.J. Cole earn first-team honors

The media’s selections for the preseason All-ACC football team were announced Wednesday, and included are three NC State players. Bradley Chubb got the nod at one of the defensive end spots, Jaylen Samuels is the first-teamer at the newly-minted “all-purpose” position, and A.J. Cole was the top vote-getter among punters.

A bunch of other Wolfpack players received votes at various positions, including Ryan Finley (a lone, bold media member with that pick), Nyheim Hines, B.J. Hill, Tony Adams, Stephen Louis, Kelvin Harmon, Kentavius Street, Tyler Jones, Mike Stevens, Airius Moore, and Shawn Boone.
