I asked Chat GPT - can you please rank the best single seasons of SEC football players? Its response is below. Solid list IMO. Check in if you're team made the cut.
Certainly! Here's a ranking of some of the best single seasons by SEC football players:
1. Cam Newton (Auburn Tigers, 2010): As mentioned before, Newton's 2010 season was remarkable. He won the Heisman Trophy and led Auburn to a national championship with his exceptional dual-threat abilities, totaling 2,854 passing yards, 1,473 rushing yards, and 51 total touchdowns.
2. Herschel Walker (Georgia Bulldogs, 1982): Walker's junior season in 1982 was outstanding. Despite not winning the Heisman Trophy that year, he rushed for 1,752 yards and 17 touchdowns, solidifying his status as one of the greatest college football players of all time.
3. Derrick Thomas (Alabama Crimson Tide, 1988): Thomas had a dominant season as a pass rusher in 1988. He set an SEC record with 27 sacks and was a unanimous All-American, leaving an indelible mark on the conference.
4. Tim Tebow (Florida Gators, 2007): Tebow had a fantastic season in 2007, winning the Heisman Trophy and guiding the Gators to a national championship. He threw for 3,286 yards, rushed for 895 yards, and accounted for 55 total touchdowns.
5. Johnny Manziel (Texas A&M Aggies, 2012): Manziel's redshirt freshman season in 2012 was electrifying. He became the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy, passing for 3,706 yards, rushing for 1,410 yards, and totaling 47 touchdowns.
6. Reggie White (Tennessee Volunteers, 1983): White's dominant season as a defensive lineman in 1983 earned him recognition as the SEC Defensive Player of the Year. He recorded 100 tackles, including 15 sacks, and made a significant impact on Tennessee's defense.
7. Bo Jackson (Auburn Tigers, 1985): Jackson's 1985 season showcased his remarkable athleticism and earned him the Heisman Trophy. He rushed for 1,786 yards and 17 touchdowns, leaving a lasting impression on SEC football.
8. Joe Burrow (LSU Tigers, 2019): Burrow's record-breaking 2019 season is considered one of the greatest by a quarterback in college football history. He won the Heisman Trophy and led LSU to a national championship, throwing for 5,671 yards and 60 touchdowns.
9. Danny Wuerffel (Florida Gators, 1996): Wuerffel's 1996 season was exceptional, culminating in a Heisman Trophy and a national championship. He passed for 3,625 yards and 39 touchdowns, solidifying his place among the SEC's top quarterbacks.
10. Archie Manning (Ole Miss Rebels, 1969): Manning's 1969 season showcased his exceptional skills as a quarterback. Despite playing on a struggling team, he passed for 2,525 yards and 19 touchdowns, earning All-SEC honors.

Looks like a pretty decent list. I think Cam Newton’s 2010 season is squarely #1. What he did with that roster of misfits around him is remarkable.

Its access is cut off to a certain year. 2017 I think

I agree. Joe Burrow was surrounded by an elite WR and other NFL talent. Cam not so much.

I'm pretty sure Herschel won the Heisman his junior season.
Chatgpt is scary because people rely on it to at least get facts correct.
People think of it like a calculator (always right). It is so far from that right now

Yeah. I’m not sure if anyone else on the Offensive side of the ball ever played a down in the NFL.

Not a lot
There was an article on it a long time ago and I think everyone else on the O side account for roughly 600ish snaps in the NFL.

Dyer imploded, other RBs were signed but didn't get over the hump, the OLinemen got hurt or didn't quite make it, WR were signed but never quite made it.

Defense was actually pretty stacked, but that offense wasn't going to put up points without Cam.

1. Cam Newton (Auburn Tigers, 2010)
No argument here. The man was the sole reason Auburn won the national championship that year. Without him and that's a 7-5 football team.
It was absolute agony watching him take over the 2010 Iron Bowl in the second half and yet you had to admire it. In hindsight I'm glad I got to see him play in person.

I believe I recall hearing or reading Archie was among the Top 10 rushing leaders that year too. 502 yds rushing, 10th in the SEC. Amazing.
