The full list of All-Rookie Team honorees can be found here, but here are the eight former SEC standouts named on the list:

Offense:

  • QB: Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys (Mississippi State)
  • TE: Hunter Henry, San Diego Chargers (Arkansas)
  • OL: Laremy Tunsil, Miami Dolphins (Ole Miss)

Defense:

  • DL: Chris Jones, Kansas City Chiefs (Mississippi State)

With another great class of players ready to enter the NFL next season (including potential No. 1 overall pick Myles Garrett), expect to see many more SEC players on next year’s list.
