Several SEC players make NFL.com list of top 150 players to watch in 2018

We’re not quite at watch-list season yet, but we’re getting there.

That didn’t stop NFL.com from coming up with a list of 150 players to watch in college football. That’s right. You have to keep your eye on all 150 of them.

Not surprisingly, a whole bunch of them came from the SEC. In fact, 33 of the 150 players were from the SEC. And to be honest, it probably could’ve been more. Kentucky’s Benny Snell didn’t make the list, nor did Mississippi State’s Montez Sweat, both of whom were first-team All-SEC selections a season ago. Texas A&M and Vanderbilt didn’t have any representatives on the list.

The list doesn’t include any true freshmen or redshirt freshmen, and because it’s NFL.com, it’s mostly 2019 draft-eligible players who made the cut albeit with a few exceptions.

Here’s the complete list from NFL.com’s Chad Reuter:
