Its fitting these two Aggies would be paired together on this list. They’re the leaders of their respective offensive and defensive units, they’re roommates, both were brought to SEC Media Days, and both have been projected as first-round picks in the 2018 NFL Draft. These two guys staying healthy and productive in 2017 could lead the way for a successful season for A&M.
SEC first-teamers include Derrius Guice (RB), LSU, Calvin Ridley (WR), Alabama, Arden Key (LB), LSU, and Minkah Fitzpatrick (DB), Alabama.
