The best returning safety in the SEC? The name may surprise you. It’s Tennessee’s Wesley Walker, according to Pro Football Focus. The publication released their top ten highest graded returning safeties on Thursday, and Walker topped the list with a 77.5 mark.

The interesting part here is that Walker made just one start for the Volunteers in 2022. Walker transferred in from Georgia Tech after playing high school ball in the mid-state area.
