Here is an update of the returning starters for 2015 pre spring but post players declaring for NFL draft. I had a member of my staff compile these so feel free to point out any that you think are incorrect so I can look them up and make sure the numbers are accurate. Hit me up @philsteele042.
We have already been working hard on the 2015 season and today’s blog is the current list for returning starters for each team in 2015 broken down by offense (including positions), defense (including positions) and special teams (kicker/punter). Below is the list I broke down teams with the most/least returning starters.
