When it comes to SEC football, picking an All-Conference team for a single season is challenging enough, as you're talking about a league that has produced at least 25 of the top 100 picks in each of the past five NFL drafts.
But picking an All-SEC team spanning from 2001-Present was quite the challenging-yet-entertaining process of elimination.
Dozens of top-15 NFL draft picks and/or top-10 Heisman vote-getters never even had a chance at making the cut. There were also dozens of unanimous first-team All-Americans who couldn't secure a "starting spot" on the roster, as the SEC has produced more than 50 such players in the past 20 years.
