With the NFL Draft quickly approaching, NFL.com is breaking down the best prospects.
Media analyst Daniel Jeremiah recently dropped his top 50 prospects for the draft, and 13 former SEC players checked into the ranking.
Five former Alabama players made the cut, with linebacker Reggie Ragland as the top-ranked player. Another notable player is Jarran Reed, the second-highest ranked prospect from the Crimson Tide — ranked higher than A’Shawn Robinson. The Heisman Trophy winner Derrick Henry is ranked as the draft’s 38th best prospect, according to Jeremiah.
Ole Miss has three of the top 50, including the No. 1 overall prospect Laremy Tunsil. Robert Nkemdiche is an interesting prospect to watch over the next few months. His incredible athleticism combined with his off-the-field issues create a must-watch scenario.
Obviously, things will change prior to and after the NFL Combine, but this gives us a sense of where evaluators and analysts slot former SEC players:
1. Laremy Tunsil, Ole Miss
10. Reggie Ragland, Alabama
11. Vernon Hargreaves, Florida
12. Leonard Floyd, Georgia
13. Jarran Reed, Alabama
17. A’Shawn Robinson, Alabama
18. Laquon Treadwell, Ole Miss
20. Robert Nkemdiche, Ole Miss
