Being a senior in college football means a player has navigated a long journey, one likely filled with ups and downs, and now is headed into the final stretch. Seniors are an incredibly valuable commodity, even if they generally aren't considered among the most talented on a team.

Because players can turn pro after their junior year, those who stick around for their senior season often get labeled as less talented. This blanket description doesn't accurately describe each player's individual situation, as while most weren't good enough to enter the NFL draft, some hope to use one last season to improve their pro stock. Others might have gotten off to a slow start in their careers, and a player's senior year is the best chance to shine.

As we have with the freshman[1], sophomore[2] and junior[3] class, we've ranked the 25 best seniors heading into the 2016 season based on what they've achieved to this point and what is expected of them this fall.
