Calling the SEC the best conference in the nation when it comes to producing fearsome, NFL-ready pass rushers is an understatement.
Pro Football Focus has taken notice, stating Tuesday morning that “it seems like we can’t see a single game in the SEC without a top pass-rusher being on the field.”
With that in mind, PFF ranked the top 10 pass-rushers in college football’s top conference, starting with freak-of-nature athlete Myles Garrett, who has evolved into the leading candidate for the No. 1 overall pick in next year’s NFL draft:
1. Myles Garrett, DE, Texas A&M
2. Derek Barnett, DE, Tennessee
3. Tim Williams, LB, Alabama
4. Carl Lawson, DE, Auburn
5. Arden Key, DE, LSU
6. Jonathan Allen, DT/DE, Alabama
7. Charles Harris, DE, Missouri
8. Ryan Anderson, LB, Alabama
9. Marquis Haynes, DE, Ole Miss
10. Daeshon Hall, DE, Texas A&M
