re: Your top 5 SEC players since 7 in a row started (2006)

---

1. Tim Tebow

4-year player, 3-year starter
2 National Championships (one as starter, one as role player)
2 SEC Championships, 3 SECCG appearances
35-6 as a starter, 48-7 during his 4-years
Heisman Trophy winner (at the time, first underclassman ever)
3-time Heisman finalist
2-time Maxwell Award winner (2007, 2008)
2-time 1st Team All American (2007, 2008)
3-time 1st Team All SEC (2007, 2008, 2009)
1st in SEC passing efficiency (170.8), 2nd in NCAA history
145 TDs (88 passing, 57 rushing)
12,233 Total Yds (9,286 passing, 2,947 rushing)
Didn't bother to look up specifics, but undoubtedly impressive record vs. ranked teams
1st round NFL Draft pick (25th overall)

Unless we define what "top players" means (pure talent, potential, best individual season, hardware, overall individual performance, championships, leadership, etc.) this debate is meaningless. Tebow is the best combination of all of that and he played for 4 years. Arguably in the top 5 SEC (and NCAA) players of all time, not just since the NC streak began. No one else on the list comes close.

"Yeah, but he has an awkward throwing motion..."
