Every SEC team has a hole to fill on its roster, either because of poor recruiting or a raid by the NFL Draft. But scan the decades and rich histories of proud programs, and you will find Heisman Trophy finalists, All-Americans, All-SEC selections and Academic All-Americans. Not to mention NCAA and SEC record holders.

Below is an SEC legend for each school that if plugged into the roster this fall could answer a lot of questions about how each team could get to Atlanta:

Alabama: Linebacker Derrick Thomas. Given Reuben Foster’s departure, while the Crimson Tide isn’t lacking at linebacker, Thomas, the 1988 Butkus Award winner, would provide a legendary boost to the pass rush. Thomas had an NCAA-record 27 sacks that season.

Arkansas: Running back Felix Jones. Following Rawleigh Williams III’s retirement, the Razorbacks are in need of a playmaker, and Jones fills that void in multiple areas. As a sophomore, Jones rushed for 1,168 yards and six scores on just 154 carries. He was an All-America kick returner and led the SEC in kickoffs with 18 returns for 564 yards and two TDs. The exciting playmaker finished his career with 2,954 rushing yards, 383 receiving yards, 1,744 return yards and 27 total touchdowns, which is seventh all-time.

Auburn: Wide receiver Courtney Taylor. The Tigers have a pair of playmakers in Darius Slayton and Nate Craig-Myers, but between youth and injury history, you wonder about their consistency. But what could put them over the top is a return from Taylor who’s most remembered for his winning touchdown catch against LSU in 2004, which kept Auburn undefeated. The former walk-on finished his career as the program’s top receiver with 153 total receptions.

Florida: Running back Emmitt Smith. The Gators appear to have the quarterback situation set, presumably for the first time since Tim Tebow provided someone emerges consistently from the competition. Smith, the NFL’s all-time leading rusher, holds the school record for most rushing yards in a single season (1,599 yards, 1989). And he also holds the school record for rushing yards in a game (316 vs. New Mexico in 1989) and in an SEC game (224 vs. Alabama in 1987).

Georgia: Offensive lineman Jon Stinchcomb. The Bulldogs have had questions along the offensive line for several years, nearly dating to the time when Stinchcomb left the program for the NFL about 15 years ago. Stinchcomb would stabilize and accelerate the development of the offensive line under Sam Pittman. Stinchcomb was a freshman All-American, then went on to become a first team All-American as a senior in 2002. That season, he helped lead Georgia win its first SEC championship in 20 years, the same year he was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America Team for the second year in a row.

Kentucky: Defensive Tackle Dewayne Robertson. The Wildcats return the bulk of their defensive front, but they struggled in 2016 at 11th in the SEC in rushing yards allowed per game, and two sacks by defensive linemen. With apologies to Tim Couch and Randall Cobb, the 300-pounder in three seasons had 114 tackles, 26 tackles for loss, nine sacks, and an interception would shore up a weak spot.

LSU: Defensive back Tyrann Mathieu. Following the losses of Tre’Davious White and Jamal Adams in the defensive backfield, the 2011 SEC Defensive Player of the Year and Heisman Trophy finalist is a natural fit here. The Honey Badger played in 26 games with 14 starts, and he created a total of 14 turnovers (eight fumble recoveries, four interceptions, two forced fumbles recovered by a teammate) and scored four touchdowns (two punt returns, two returns of fumbles). Mathieu holds the school record of 11 forced fumbles, which is four better than the previous record.

Missouri: Tight end Kellen Winslow. The Tigers’ use of the tight end has dropped dramatically in recent years, but it bounced back somewhat in 2016 behind Sean Culkin. Winslow played at a time, and was the kind of player to be an all-time great and legend, when tight ends were more active in the Missouri offense. He was a two-time all-Big Eight player and was a consensus All-American in 1978. As a senior, Winslow had 28 catches for 479 yards and eight touchdowns. Winslow was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2003.

Ole Miss: Tight end Kris Mangum. Evan Engram leaves a large void in the Rebels offense after he departed as the all-time Ole Miss leader in receptions (162), receiving yards (2,320) and TD catches (15) by a tight end, and he was the first player in school history to earn all-SEC honors four times. But Mangum is capable. He was a first team All-American in 1996 when he was a team captain for the Rebels. To show the evolution of the tight end position that led to Engram, Mangum caught 74 passes for 729 yards and four touchdowns in three seasons with the Rebels, and he was a two-time all-SEC pick.

Mississippi State: Linebacker Mario Haggan. While freshman Willie Gay gains some seasoning, we’ll plug Haggan into this hole after he was a first-team all-SEC selection by the Associated Press and All-America choice by The Sporting News in 2000. Haggan was the Bulldogs’ leading tackler in each of his last three seasons, including 119 tackles as a senior campaign. He was a second-team All-SEC selection in both 2001 and 2002.

South Carolina: Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. Remembered nationally for his famous hit in the Outback Bowl, Clowney was the third player in school history to be named a two-time first-team All-American. Clowney would answer a lot of questions left from 2016 when the Gamecocks were ninth in the SEC and 87th in the nation in rushing defense during the regular season.

Tennessee: Defensive end Reggie White. White would replace Derek Barnett and fill the void of Barnett’s departure with the kind of play that helped him collect 32 sacks and 293 tackles in four seasons. Barnett is the only player in SEC history who has recorded 10 or more sacks in three different seasons.

Texas A&M: Defensive back Ray Mickens. The Aggies were second to last in the SEC last season in passing defense, allowing 250 yards per game. Conversely, Mickens was an All-American for the Aggies in 1995, and he started 36 games at cornerback on a defense ranked No. 3 in the country in total defense his senior season. The Aggie pass defense led the country in pass efficiency defense in 1993.

Vanderbilt: Linebacker Jonathan Goff. Trying to replace Zach Cunningham is quite the tall order after Cunningham was the first Commodore player in team history to earn unanimous first-team All-America selection and the the seventh player to earn consensus All-America honors. But Goff was an all-SEC performer in 2007 when he led the Commodores with 113 tackles. He started three of his four years and had 307 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, 6.5 sacks and three interceptions.
