We conclude our look at statistical benchmarks in the SEC by checking in on the last line of defense. The secondary gets its turn today, as we see how many guys can snatch at least five interceptions this fall.
Last year, the SEC saw only two players record at least five interceptions. Surprise, surprise, Alabama's Minkah Fitzpatrick led the SEC with six interceptions, while Missouri's Aarion Penton was second with five interceptions. Fitzpatrick is back, Penton is not.
The SEC had at least three players reach five interceptions in the previous three seasons. So how many will hit five interceptions this season?
