The SEC had 3 cornerbacks taken in Round 1 of the 2021 NFL Draft — Patrick Surtain II, Jaycee Horn and Eric Stokes.
But, heading into the 2021 season, there’s still plenty of talent around the league at the corner position, particularly in Baton Rouge.
On Tuesday, Pro Football Focus ranked the 10 best cornerbacks returning in college football this fall. As you can see below, they listed 4 SEC standouts in the top 6:
- No. 1 — Derek Stingley Jr., LSU
- No. 3 — Eli Ricks, LSU
- No. 5 — Josh Jobe, Alabama
- No. 6 — Kaiir Elam, Florida
