9 SEC players listed among NFL.com’s top 25 Senior Bowl prospects at midseason

There’s still half of the 2021 college football season to play, and the 2022 NFL Draft isn’t until April. However, there have been plenty of players who have already greatly boosted their stock through the first 6 weeks of play.

On Thursday, NFL.com’s Chad Reuter released his latest Senior Bowl rankings, naming the college players who are positioning themselves to receive invitations to the draft showcase game. The Senior Bowl isn’t until Feb. 5, but it’s becoming clear who is deserving of participating in the event.

Here are the SEC players who made Reuter’s latest top-25 list:

• Adam Anderson, DE, Georgia — No. 4
• Darian Kinnard, OL, Kentucky — No. 5
• Jordan Davis, DT, Georgia — No. 6
• Roger McCreary, CB, Auburn — No. 8
• Kingsley Enagbare, DE, South Carolina — No. 17
• Phidarian Mathis, DT, Alabama — No. 18
• Jamaree Salyer, OL, Georgia — No. 19
• Josh Jobe, CB, Alabama — No. 20
• Josh Paschal, DE, Kentucky — No. 22

It should come as no surprise that Georgia has 2 of the top 6 players and 3 among the top 25. The Bulldogs are off to a 6-0 start and are currently ranked No. 1 in the country.

Anderson and Davis are both key members of a Georgia defense that is dominating opponents thus far.
