Mississippi State has had its share of underrated players in Dan Mullen's tenure. This year Fred Ross and Beniquez Brown are two players that have a good chance at surprising everyone around SEC country.
In a league as plentiful with star players as the SEC, it's easy for several guys to get overlooked year in and year out. Just flash back one season ago to the monster year that MSU defensive end Preston Smith put together. He was pretty much unheard of outside of Starkville this time last year. 15 tackles for loss, two interceptions and nine sacks later, Smith was taken in the second round of the NFL draft.
