10. ArDarius Stewart, Alabama: Largely forgotten, and he shouldn’t be. Stewart picked up the slack for Calvin Ridley in the national championship game, leading the Tide with 96 receiving yards. More reliable than explosive, he finished tied for sixth in the SEC with 63 catches. Alabama will have a new QB next year, but it won’t have a Heisman contender in the backfield to hand off to 35 times a game.

9. Quincy Adeboyejo, Ole Miss: QB Chad Kelly is returning for his senior season, aiming to become the first SEC QB to throw for 4,000 yards in two seasons. With Laquon Treadwell off to the NFL, Kelly needs a new big-play threat. He’ll have numerous options, but Adeboyejo is the most proven.

8. Malachi Dupre, LSU: Dupree’s production increased dramatically this season, and he finished tied for eighth in the SEC with 6 TD receptions. If Travin Dural returns, as expected, LSU’s wideout combo will battle Texas A&M’s to be the league’s best.

7. Terry Godwin, Georgia: Godwin will end up being the biggest mover on this list next season. He’s explosive and versatile and

6. Fred Ross, Mississippi State: Mr. Reliable, Ross led the SEC with 88 receptions until Calvin Ridley passed him (by one) in the championship game. Ross isn’t a big-play threat — as his 11.44 yards per catch suggests — but he was a steady target for Dak Prescott. His return and senior leadership will be a welcome relief for whomever wins Mississippi State’s QB job in 2016.

5. Travin Dural, LSU: His hamstring injury hurt LSU this season but might be the reason he returns for next season. He’s as dynamic a playmaker as any wideout in the the SEC. He finished third in the conference in yards per catch (19.04).

4. Josh Reynolds, Texas A&M: Reynolds is returning for his senior season, which ensures the Aggies will have the most explosive wideout combo in the conference — if not the country. Texas A&M lost its bowl game against Louisville, but Reynolds was unstoppable, catching 11 balls for 177 yards — both totals were career highs and came with a new quarterback.

3. Christian Kirk, Texas A&M: The second-half (not necessarily better) of the Aggies’ combo, Kirk had more receptions and receiving yards than Calvin Ridley during the regular season. He finished with 80 catches for 1,009 yards and 7 TDs, ranking in the SEC’s top 5 in each category.

2. Antonio Callaway, Florida: The only offensive threat Florida had after Will Grier’s suspension, there’s a good chance his talent will exceed his numbers in 2016 as the Gators’ QB search continues.

1. Calvin Ridley, Alabama: His record-setting freshman season ended with a no-show performance and a clock-stopping mental mistake in the national championship game. Perfect motivation heading into 2016.
