Ole Miss has both strengths and weaknesses in certain spots this year. The key to winning championships is to be strong across the board and not just in one or two position groups. Where do the Rebels stack up?

In order for the Rebels to get to Atlanta this season, they will need some improvements from a few areas on the field. We all know about Chad Kelly and how good the wide receivers will be, but what about other positions?

Ole Miss seemed to dip off a little bit on defense last year in comparison to the 2014 version. On the flip side, the Rebels were much better offensively. in 2016, Rebel fans are hoping both units gel together and there is no weakness opponents will be able to exploit. Let’s go through each position group and see where they rank.
