The Acorns add 5 new coaches for 14 total coaches. First-team all-league quarterback Jeff Roberts threw for 1300 yards and 11 touchdowns last year. He will be nicely paired with running back trio Billy Van Aken, Jeff Blean RB/WR, and Alex Muhn. All three athletes run sub 4.75 40's. The Acorns have a lot of depth at every position, but they do not have much experience. There is only one lineman (Eric Dean) returning from offense and defense. Most players will have little to no game experience. The fourteen coaches have their work cut out for them this year if they want to remain as competitive as they were last year.
