SEC Football Preview '07: Five Best Players Not Named Darren McFadden
Pick five great players from the SEC. It's not hard to do. In fact you'll come up with way more than five. Now try to pick just five and justify them as the best five in all the conference. Yeah, it's pretty tough.
It gets even tougher when you figure the number one spot has to go to Darren McFadden, Heisman runner-up, unanimous All-SEC, digital wonder, commander of the "Wildcat" package, driver of the pimped-out Crown Victoria. Humanity Advanced. In 2005, Darren McFadden ran for 1,113 yards, crushing Arkansas' freshman rushing record by more than 450. Last year he ran for more than 1600 yards and 14 touchdowns. And in neither year was he been 100% healthy all the time. By staying relatively healthy this fall, D-Mac will break Arkansas' all-time rushing record, say mid-Octoberish. And he'll be a top-five NFL draft pick should he forgo his senior year.
Darren McFadden is easily the best player in the SEC, and he just might be the best player in college football, so I'm excluding him from the list to make room for other guys who deserve the spotlight. Still, I'm sure I botched something on this list, just feel free to add your picks for the SEC's best in the comments at the end.
We start with a guy who, like most of the players on this list, could have left the SEC for the NFL last April...
