Contenders for best SEC back since 2000:

Bama - Ingram, Richardson, Yeldon, Henry, Harris
Arkansas - McFadden, Jones, Collins
Auburn - Rudi Johnson, Irons, Tate, Dyer, Mason, Kerryon Johnson
Jawja - Moreno, Gurley, Chubb, Michel
Kentucky - Snell
LSU - Vincent, Addai, Broussard, Hill, Fournette, Guice, Edwards-Helaire
Mississippi State - Norwood, Dixon
Ole Miss - McCluster
Sakerlina - Lattimore, Davis

I’m sure I’m missing some dudes.

McFadden is the best and scariest running back I've ever seen live. Still remember him in 2005 as a true freshman on a bad team just run over and through an Alabama defense with DeMeco Ryans, Mark Anderson, Wallace Gillberry, Roman Harper, etc. He had a TD run in which he stiff armed Harper, I think, that was insane.

He almost single handidly beat us in 2007.

DMac, Zeke Elliot in 2014 and Todd Gurley in 2012 are the only times in the Saban era I've ever seen a running back just completely take over a game against us.

Tre Mason ran for 1000 yards in 2012 playing on arguably the worst team in SEC history.

Lattimore


If his knees would have held up I think he would have been the best of all.

No Cadillac or Ronnie Brown? Both picked in the top ten of the same draft? (Top 5 if I'm remembering correctly)

There's some solid dudes listed there, but Mason is the only one that belongs with these two.

And this isn't to say they're the best since 2000 in the league. I'd have to go Dmac or Henry for that discussion.

Oh heavens no. Clyde and Charles Scott had much better careers than both of those guys. Jacob Hester too

You're DQ'd for leaving out Cadillac and Ronnie Brown

I'm an LSU fan and TYFYS Justin Vincent, but two great games does not give him a place on this list.
