Now that spring practice has wrapped up, here's our latest projection of how the depth chart will shape up for Northwestern this fall. Rather than go with our gut on position battles that are still very undecided, we've listed co-starters. However, after Camp Kenosha, we'll be able to project a much more accurate picture of how the depth chart will look.
