We’ve already discussed the worst first-round pick in the NFL draft from each SEC school. Now it’s time to look at the best.
Important to note: This is not the best NFL player from the school or even the best draft pick. It’s the best first-round pick, and everything being equal, if a player picked in the 20s has a career equal to that of a player picked in the top 10, we’re giving the edge to the player picked in the 20s. Our thinking: A player picked in the top 10 is expected to become a star; that’s not necessarily the case for a player picked in the 20s.
