Unless, of course, his sack totals are so inflated in non-conference games that he has 15-plus sacks, which would be the most since Mississippi State’s Willie Evans in 2005. And the last three DPOY winners (S. Ray, M. Sam, J.Jones) all led the league in sacks.

Myles Garrett was the No. 2 recruit in the nation last year and lived up to the billing with an SEC freshman record 11.5 sacks, second to Shane Ray. Garrett excelled on passing downs but he’ll have to be better against the run and needs to show up in big games.
