Which team has best secondary in SEC?

Today, we finish our look at the best position groups in the SEC by looking at the top defensive back units.

Best of the best: Welp, Alabama is back, and for good reason. The Crimson Tide returns most of its secondary from last year, led by arguably the country's most versatile defensive back -- safety/cornerback Minkah Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick, who has returned a school-record four interceptions for touchdowns in his two seasons at Alabama, can play the boundary corner spot, nickelback and safety for Alabama. He started the spring at corner, but moved back to safety after Trevon Diggs found a home opposite returning starter Anthony Averett at cornerback.
