Pro Football Focus PFF Football Michigan State Jack Conklin Michigan

Can you name who’s the best recent Michigan State football player by Pro Football Focus (PFF) standards?

PFF has released their list of highest-graded players from the Big Ten during the “PFF era” and the top Spartan may surprise you. Former Michigan State offensive tackle Jack Conklin was the highest-graded Spartan of all-time.
