The SEC has 21 former players on the active rosters for this year’s Super Bowl.

Headlined by former Alabama star Julio Jones, there are several players from the conference who are making their first appearance in The Big Game.

While Jones was certainly one of the best players in the SEC and has become arguably the NFL’s best receiver, not all of the conference’s former legends have had the chance to play for an NFL championship.

In fact, many of the SEC’s most recognizable names haven’t appeared in a Super Bowl. Here are the SEC’s top 10 players who never reached the NFL’s title game.

Note: This ranking is based on a player’s college performance, not his career in the NFL.

10. Eric Berry, Tennessee: Berry burst onto the scene as a true freshman for the Vols. The electric defensive back intercepted five passes for a school-record 222 yards and led all SEC freshmen with 86 tackles before being named a consensus freshman All-American. He left Tennessee with 14 interceptions and 245 tackles, and Berry was named a unanimous All-American in both his sophomore and junior seasons.

Berry became a star in the NFL before he was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, which put his career in doubt. The Kansas City Chiefs safety rebounded in spectacular fashion and has once again established himself as one of the best defensive backs in the league.

9. Glenn Dorsey, LSU: Coming out of college, Dorsey was viewed by many NFL teams as a player capable of immediately improving a defense. That reputation was well earned. Dorsey left LSU as the most decorated defensive player in the school’s history and finished his college career with 179 tackles, 27 tackles for loss and 13 sacks, despite facing double and triple teams.

Unfortunately, Dorsey hasn’t had the NFL success many predicted. Now nine years removed from his LSU days, Dorsey, a nose tackle for the San Francisco 49ers, has just seven sacks and 320 tackles.

8. David Pollack, Georgia: Many consider Pollack to be the best player in Georgia’s distinguished history. The three-time All-American holds the school record for most single-season sacks (14) and career sacks (36). Pollack did a little bit of everything for the Bulldogs in Mark Richt’s early years and finished his career with 283 tackles, 58 tackles for loss, 36 sacks and four interceptions.

Pollack seemed destined to become an impact player at the next level, but his career was cut short after a spinal injury in his second season.

7. Derrick Thomas, Alabama: One of the most frightening defensive players to ever suit up in the SEC, Thomas was absolutely relentless at getting to the quarterback. The former hybrid player ended his career with 52 sacks, with over half of those coming in his 27-sack 1998 season, a mark that still stands as an NCAA record. To put that number into context, consider that Jonathan Allen, Tim Williams and Ryan Anderson combined for 28.5 sacks last season for Alabama.

Thomas went on to have a Hall of Fame career in the NFL and had his jersey retired by the Chiefs in 2009. He still holds the NFL’s single-game sack record, which he set with seven sacks against Seattle in 1990. Thomas’ life was tragically cut short on Feb. 8, 2000, when he died from a blood clot caused by paralysis after a car accident.

6. Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M: An argument could be made that Manziel deserves to be higher on this list, but he slipped because his SEC career spanned just two seasons. In a two-year span, however, there are few players in history capable of matching Manziel. The dual-threat quarterback ended his career with 7,820 passing yards and 9,989 total yards to go along with 93 total touchdowns. In 2012, Manziel became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy.

Manziel’s exploits in the NFL are well known. After the Cleveland Browns selected him with the 22nd overall pick in the draft, Manziel started just two games in his rookie season. He started six games the following season, but a lifestyle of partying led the Browns to cut him. Manziel is reportedly working hard at another chance to play in the NFL, but it remains to be seen if he can accomplish that goal.

5. Danny Wuerffel, Florida: Orchestrator of Steve Spurrier’s fun-and-gun offense, Wuerffel put up video game numbers in an era before today’s passing revolution. The Gators quarterback won the Heisman Trophy in his final year on campus, and he left the program with 10,875 passing yards and 114 touchdowns. Both marks are among the highest in SEC history.

Despite his college success, Wuerffel didn’t make much of an impact in the NFL. He was drafted in the fourth round by the New Orleans Saints and spent most of his career as a backup.

4. Bo Jackson, Auburn: An SEC icon, Jackson is one of the conference’s true legends. Injuries appeared to be the only thing that could contain the Auburn running back. Jackson finished his career with 4,303 yards, third-most in SEC history, and 43 touchdowns.

The former Tigers running back instantly became one of the NFL’s most popular players when he joined the league after spending a year playing baseball. Jackson was an impressive two-sport athlete, and a Tecmo Bowl god. A hip injury ended Jackson’s career after just four seasons.

3. Darren McFadden, Arkansas: It’s easy to forget just how incredible McFadden was in the SEC, but the Arkansas running back belongs right up there in the discussion of the conference’s best players throughout history. McFadden finished his sophomore and junior seasons with 1,647 yards and 14 touchdowns and 1,830 yards and 16 touchdowns, respectively. In both of those seasons, he finished second in the Heisman Trophy voting. McFadden’s 4,590 rushing yards are second in SEC history.

The former Arkansas star has enjoyed a good NFL career, but he hasn’t lived up to being the fourth overall pick in the 2008 draft. As a member of the surging Dallas Cowboys, it appears that McFadden has the best shot to make a Super Bowl of any of the active players on this list with the possible exception of Berry.

2. Herschel Walker, Georgia: Largely considered one of the best college football players of all time, if not the best, Walker was virtually unstoppable for the Bulldogs. Walker led the SEC in virtually every rushing category in all three of his All-America seasons. When he left Georgia, Walker’s 5,259 yards were the most in SEC history, a mark which still stands today.

Walker’s professional career began in controversy when left college after only three seasons, something that wasn’t allowed back then, to join the startup USFL. He eventually made his way to the NFL, where he spent 12 seasons. Although Walker never made a Super Bowl, he played a major role in launching the Cowboys’ dynasty after he was traded to Minnesota in one of the most lopsided trades in NFL history.

1. Tim Tebow, Florida: Nobody in SEC history has reached the end zone more than Tebow. The Heisman-winning quarterback led the Gators to two national championships and quickly became one of the most recognizable sports figures in America. When Tebow left Florida after four years, he held five NCAA, 14 SEC and 28 school records. His 145 total touchdowns and 170.8 career passer rating are still tops in SEC history.

Nowadays, it looks more likely that Tebow will play in a World Series than a Super Bowl. Despite his apparent desire and work ethic, Tebow has not been able to settle in with an NFL team and it appears unlikely that he will do so.
