There are a lot of ways to qualify “important” when it comes to singling out players on a football team. Does that mean the players who are most valuable due to their ability? Most valuable due to the shaky depth situation behind them? Or simply the players who occupy the most important positions, thus making them important by extension?

The Pitt coaches would tell you that there are a lot of key players on the 2016 team, from the starting quarterback to the backup gunner on the punt team. But if it’s boiled down to a small group, there are five players who stand out from the rest for a variety of reasons.

As such, here are Panther-Lair.com’s five most important players heading into training camp. This list isn’t meant to be exclusive; there are certainly important players who exist outside of these five. But here are the players who stand out on a number of levels.
