Talking SEC-to-NFL connections

There isn’t a single person reading this article who doesn’t know which schools, so I won’t even mention them. Manning and Newton got me thinking: Which current NFL players are most identifiable with the SEC school they played for?

ALABAMA: Derrick Henry may change this, but for now it has to be Atlanta wide receiver Julio Jones. Jones was an All-SEC performer on a national championship team in 2010 and the sixth pick in the 2011 NFL draft. As good as he was in college — in my opinion, he’s one of the five best SEC wide receivers of all-time – he’s an even better pro.
