Playing in the SEC means that you are going up against future NFL starters nearly every given Saturday. Outside of maybe defensive line, no other position group exemplifies this more than the secondary.
Missouri will take on the likes of Kaiir Elam (Florida), Jalen Catalon (Arkansas), Yusuf Corker (Kentucky) and Tykee Smith (Georgia). All of these guys are expected to be high NFL draft picks in 2022, and they are only the headliners of a plethora of deep defensive back groups within the conference this season.
