There weren’t many spectacular offenses in the SEC in 2016, but there are always dynamic playmakers. Mississippi State and Alabama had two of the most dynamic players in SEC football in 2016, and one of them will be back again in 2017.

Mississippi State’s Fred Ross and Alabama’s Calvin Ridley each caught 72 passes in 2016.
