I'm confident in most of these, but there are a couple I'm curious about. It was tough not to put Lock for Missouri, and some schools just have so many great players, and some not so much

Julio Jones is an NFL Hall of Fame lock. I don't see how one could justify putting Derrick Henry ahead of him at this point.

Best current career from LSU.

But as far as best player currently - Jamal Adams, Tre White, and Tyrann Mathieu are better players right now

It came down to Jamal and Tre for me, and I had a tough time making up my mind. But you could put up the argument that Tre was the best corner in the entire NFL last year. He was unbelievable. 50% completion rate, 0 TD’s, 6 INT’s. Really really good

Fletcher Cox has had the best career of anybody from State in a long time, but Chris Jones might be the better player right now. Granted, Jones is 3-4 years younger, but he is putting up similar numbers to what Fletch did a few years ago.

Didn't watch the video but it has to be Stephon Gilmore.

ETA: Give him a couple of years and Deebo may eclipse Stephon.

Immediately stopped watching after Derrick Henry was declared the best player in the NFL from Alabama. Julio Jones says hello.

If this was a better career list Jones is obvious, but for right now it’s very debatable. I don’t think either is wrong

I like Dee Ford, but I'd give it to Cam still.

It really isn't.

Jones was the NFL's second leading receiver this year in a pass-oriented league and became the fastest receiver to 12,000 career yards this past season.

Derrick Henry has had one really good year since his rookie season. Julio Jones has been consistently excellent for his ENTIRE career, and that includes 2019.

Currently it's Dre Greenlaw



Although we do have Razorback "fans" who hate him because his pronunciation of Arkansas during lineups. Context: he lost a bet during LSU game week and pronounced Arkansas = Ar-Kansas. Some of the lesser educated in our fanbase threw a shite fit and disowned him. So if you want an easy way to get at our fanbase simply prounouce the state Ar-Kansas OR talk shite about war memorial stadium.

While Gator's Joe Haden is an awesome player he is not the best Gator in the NFL currently. I am sorry you would have to give that honor Joe's current teammate Maurkice Pouncey with 8 pro-bowl appearances.

Again, this isn't a career list. It's a "what have you done for me lately" list.

I like Julio, he's a great receiver. But we aren't talking about Jerry Rice here. He's got quite a few things in his game, such as ctch%, or yac, or TD's over the last 5 years, he's had some drop issues in the past. I'm not even saying you're wrong, but to say it's not even arguable is silly.

I did something like this for every conference, and for quite a few schools there were guys I chose that I knew would be replaced the next season. Arkansas is a great example of that.

I'll go a step further - not only is it not arguable, I think it was just a lazy pick. You asked for the best player in the league from each program, not who had the best 2019 season. If you're going to promote your own YouTube video, at least do your homework.
