There isn’t a single person reading this article who doesn’t know which two schools those are so I won’t even mention them. Manning and Newton got me thinking: for each SEC team, which current NFL player is most identifiable with the school he played for?
Alabama – Derrick Henry may change this, but for now it has to be Julio Jones. Jones was an All-SEC performer on a national championship team in 2010 and the 6th pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.
As good of a college player as he was – in my opinion he’s no worse than one of the five best SEC wide receivers of all-time – he’s an even better professional.
