The SEC lost an astounding number of superstar quarterbacks following the 2013 season, from Johnny Manziel to A.J. McCarron, Zach Mettenberger to Aaron Murray.

However, the departures of those quarterbacks hardly impacted the conference’s pass-catchers. A whopping 232 different SEC players caught at least one pass in 2014, the exact same number of players to catch a pass in 2013.

LSU beat writer Ross Dellenger looked into how many wide receivers caught passes for each SEC team this season, and found there to be a wide variety in the number of traditional wideouts catching passes for each team:

For what it’s worth, Texas A&M had the SEC’s best passing offense in 2014, while LSU had the conference’s worst.

In looking at the numbers from Dellenger’s tweet, 116 different SEC wideouts caught passes in 2014, representing exactly half the conference’s pass-catchers this season.

So who else was catching passes in the SEC this year? We at SDS tried to answer that very question. Let’s start with a breakdown of the different pass-catchers from all 14 SEC teams in 2014:

Team Players w/ rec. WRs RBs TEs QBs OL Def.
Alabama 18 7 5 5 0 1 0
Arkansas 16 7 3 5 0 1 0
Auburn 15 8 3 2 2 0 0
Florida 16 9 5 2 0 0 0
Georgia 21 11 7 3 0 0 0
Kentucky 17 9 5 2 1 0 0
LSU 12 4 6 2 0 0 0
Mississippi State 17 8 4 3 1 0 1
Missouri 13 8 2 2 1 0 0
Ole Miss 18 8 5 4 0 0 1
South Carolina 15 6 5 3 1 0 0
Tennessee 19 10 4 4 0 1 0
Texas A&M 18 12 4 1 0 1 0
Vanderbilt 17 8 4 4 0 0 1

Although Texas A&M had more true wide receivers catch passes than any other team in the SEC, it had just the third-most total pass-catchers in the conference. The team with the most different players with at least one catch was Georgia, which boasted 21 different pass-catchers in 2014.

However, those 21 different receivers didn’t help the Bulldogs torch opponents through the air, as the Dawgs finished ninth in the conference with just 199 passing yards per game.

Tennessee had 19 different pass-catchers but finished with the SEC’s eighth-best passing offense, and A&M tied with Alabama and Ole Miss at 18 pass-catchers this season. The Aggies, Rebels and Tide all ranked in the top 4 in the SEC in passing offense this season.

LSU not only posted the SEC’s worst passing offense in 2014 with the fewest true wideouts catching passes, but it was also the only team in the SEC on which the wideouts didn’t lead the team in receiving. The Tigers had four true receivers catch passes against six different pass-catching tailbacks.

Only one SEC team had more backs catch a pass this season — Georgia, which boasted seven backs with a catch.

The SEC’s 14 teams also completed passes to 13 different non-skill players on offense, including three players who don’t play on offense at all. Six different SEC quarterbacks caught passes this season, including two different quarterbacks on Auburn’s roster alone.

Of those six quarterbacks to catch a pass, two of them (Mississippi State’s Dak Prescott and South Carolina’s Dylan Thompson) scored touchdowns. Prescott and Thompson were also the SEC’s only quarterbacks with multiple catches this season.

Four different offensive linemen also got into the action as pass-catchers in 2014, as did three different defensive backs. Those seven players combined to catch 12 passes, including two for touchdowns.
