Which SEC player(s) do you respect most?

I will not pick an LSU player because the rule prohibits it and I will not pick an AU player because I am not a homer.

I haven't given much thought about next year, but last year it was Patrick Willis for me.

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/draft/2007-03-14-patrick-willis_N.htm

Consider:
•When he was 4, his parents split.
•When he was 10, he occasionally worked in a cotton field to provide financial support for his family.
•When he was 16, his high school basketball coach became his legal guardian because his father neglected his children and physically abused Patrick's younger siblings.
•When he was 21, his youngest brother, Detris, drowned while swimming with friends.

NFLDraftScout.com senior analyst Rob Rang ranks Willis as the top linebacker in this year's draft. He believes Willis has a chance to go as high as No. 11 to the 49ers.

 

Couldnt agree more about Willis.

 

And you didn't see him breaking a toe in a bar fight before the season started.

 

Nah, it would have to be Brandon Cox, sorry Aubies. I know the guy has been through a lot in his life, but he just acts like a little bitch whenever he throws an interception.

 

I could throw Simeon Castille in there.

I'm sure i could name ten players i hate if i watched a quarter of a Tennessee game.

 

I'd like to know what John Parker Wilson and Simeon Castille have done to be hated

JPW I know is probably going to be outstanding by his Senior year, and Simeon Castille had a lot of interceptions, but I dont remember them doing anything to be disliked by other teams yet, Of course, besides being at Bama lol

 

I don't really "hate" the guy I just dislike how he would roam the sidelines while his defensive unit was meeting. He seemed larger than the team. Of course, I think Shula's policies allowed that to happen.

 

LMAO. 'You must spread some reputation around...'

 

I would too. My boss is a Notre Dame alum and has a kid that goes to Alabama. My boss cannot stand Alabama and makes no bones about and given an opportunity would dog bama at any time. He said his son said that JPW is a nice guy and didn't have that jackass, ego filled attitude that many football players carry around with them. I've never heard anything good or bad about Castille.
