The SEC has a pair of former wide receivers who are currently dominating the NFL.
You might not be surprised at the names — A.J. Green and Julio Jones.
Both Green and Jones were selected within the first six picks of the 2011 NFL Draft, out of Georgia and Alabama, respectively.
Since then, they have been terrorizing opposing NFL defensive backs.
Green and Jones are ranked in the Top 4 of the NFL’s highest-graded wide receivers through four weeks, according to Pro Football Focus:
