SEC Network's Jordan Rodgers makes his pick for best RB in the SEC
The SEC returns a number of elite running backs this fall, from Alabama’s Najee Harris to Mississippi State’s Kylin Hill to Arkansas’s Rakeem Boyd to Ole Miss’s Jerrion Ealy and more.
Many think Harris is a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender this fall, but SEC Network analyst Jordan Rodgers went a different direction when naming the best RB in the league.
As you can see below, Rodgers said on SEC Nation on Saturday morning that Hill, not Harris, is the best running back in the SEC:

As Rodgers mentions, Mike Leach likes to involve his running backs in the passing game. We’ll see if Hill has more than the 18 pass receptions he had in 2019.
Can Mississippi State pull off the upset against LSU on Saturday afternoon? Hill’s play will go a long way toward deciding that.
