19 SEC players crack ESPN’s re-ranking of the top 50 FBS players of the 2019 season

Before the season, ESPN attempted to rank who the top 50 players would be. Obviously, that didn’t turn out very well, as predictions are hard.

In fact, Heisman-winning QB Joe Burrow didn’t even make the cut. With the benefit of hindsight, ESPN recently went back and re-ranked the top 50 players of the 2019 season, and 19 SEC stars made the cut.

Burrow is now No. 1 on the list, followed by some other top SEC talent:

• No. 1 — Joe Burrow, QB, LSU
• No. 6 — Ja’Marr Chase, WR, LSU
• No. 8 — Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama
• No. 10 — Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn
• No. 14 — Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama
• No. 19 — Derek Stingley Jr., DB, LSU
• No. 20 — Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU
• No. 22 — Najee Harris, RB, Alabama
• No. 24 — DeVonta Smith, WR, Alabama
• No. 26 — Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, LSU
• No. 29 — D’Andre Swift, RB, Georgia
• No. 31 — Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia
• No. 32 — Jonathan Greenard, EDGE, Florida
• No. 34 — Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama
• No. 37 — Lynn Bowden Jr., QB/WR, Kentucky
• No. 40 — J.R. Reed, S, Georgia
• No. 42 — Anfernee Jennings, LB, Alabama
• No. 43 — Javon Kinlaw, DL, South Carolina
• No. 44 — Xavier McKinney, S, Alabama
