Johnson is better than all of them by a good margin.

AJ Johnson is hilariously overrated

Ragland is quietly one of the better linebackers in the SEC. He'll never get the credit he deserves, but he is really good.

Cass Mckinzy has been quietly having a great year for AU at lb.

I said this on the UGA board, but Leonard Floyd and Amarlo Herrera should be on this instead of Jenkins and Wilson for UGA

McKinney is the best lb in the sec and it's not close. AJ has so many tackles because his defense never gets off the field and when they do the Tenn offense puts them right back on.

McKinney wins in a fight.

SEC, overall seems to be having an off year at the LB position but it still has a few beasts roaming the field. Ragland, Johnson, and McKinney being the top three. I'd give the edge to Johnson though. Not sure why all the overrated comments on AJ, dude is straight up beast mode, he's all over the field making plays.

McKinney is the best LB and it's not even close. Do yall realize he's a junior?

Why isn't Beckwith in consideration? He's only started 3 games playing 6 part-time. Let the sophomore get some love.

I guess they don't count Xzavier Dickson as a LB.
Posted on 10/27/14 at 7:07 pm to dallasga6
There's no Auburn LB on this list 
Posted on 10/27/14 at 8:38 pm to dallasga6
Kwon Alexander suffered from being on a defense that was pretty bad in the big games the first half of the season. But, even in those games, he was all over the field and was the one bright shining light.
Now that the rest of the Defense for LSU has come on, Kwon is just ridiculous.

Those guys are all good. Right now though, I would not trade Kwon Alexander for any of them. He is a damn play-maker. Beckwith would be on that list had the coaches started him all year. Kid is a beast. The SEC is loaded with great LB's this year.

HOW is Kwon alexander not in this?!?!
Posted on 10/30/14 at 7:56 pm to dallasga6
No Kwon Alexander?
