What SEC team had the single most talented receiving corp in a season? Ole Miss and LSU should surely have a contender. I have one in mind. What do you think was the best receiver room in a year in SEC history?

Mississippi State 2020

Torched "DBU" for most passing yards in an SEC game ever with a broke dick QB that couldn't keep his job thorough the season.

Smith, Jeudy, Waddle, Ruggs & Metchie

Jefferson, Chase, Marshall & Me

Tough choice imo.. The LSU guys are better imo.. but Alabama has a deeper well..



Crazy that it was the same year.

This is stupid how good that room was.

2018 OM isn’t that good but it’s up in that area:

AJ Brown
DK Metcalf
Elijah Moore
Dawson Knox

DK Metcalf

I truly didn’t appreciate how good that guy was until he was running past NFL CBs like he did to some really elite guys at Bama.

Somehow I discounted him at the time, but in retrospect he’s one of the best pure athletes ever to play the position in the SEC. Just flat out built different.

That was gonna be my choice.

I'll never forget interviewing Spurrier about that group and him saying (or possibly repeating) that Danny Wuerful was the first college QB that took a downgrade in WRs when he went to the NFL. And when I had Danny on the show (he was living in NOLA working for a church group at the time if I remember correctly) he laughed and said, "yessir, that's probably true."

That foursome was unreal.

2019 Bama is my pick. They had 5 wide receivers who were drafted. One of them was a Heisman winner. Add to that the backs Najee Harris and Brian Robinson, who were involved in the passing game, are also both NFL starters.

Their stats in 2019 would have been even better if Tua had not been hurt and then injured. Mac Jones was very good, but in 2019 he was not as good as Tua.

2019 LSU is up there too with Chase and Jefferson. But they didn’t have the depth that Alabama had.

That 2019 Alabama offense was insane; 2 NFL QBs, 2 NFL running backs, 5 NFL receivers, 2 NFL tight ends, 4 of the 5 OL starters are in the NFL.

Of Alabama’s starters on offense, only center Chris Owens didn’t sign with an NFL team. The two deep on offense had 18 future NFL players.

And they lost two regular season games.

think Van left at the end of 2017..but we also had 5 star Demarcus Lodge. He was more productive than DK, but obviously ceiling wasn't quite as high.

And that they had Burrow and Tua throwing them the ball with Mac Jones at backup for Bama.

Then you had Najee and Edwards - Hellaire at RB. Hell the backups for Bama at RB were Brian Robinson and Jerome Ford who both have started in the NFL.

Then when you want to just blitz to throw off their rhythm Bama’s entire OL went on to be drafted with 4 who eventually were 1st or early 2nd Rd guys.

It’s why I laugh when people dismiss the idea that occasionally rare elite teams have units that are on par with horrible NFL units. There’s no way that offense wouldn’t be better than the Panthers offense when you have 9-10 1st rd draft picks playing together all of whom started in the NFL later on with 16 guys in total who started at least a game in the NFL.

Same was true for some 2000 era defenses.
