The SEC Coaches announced their pre-season All-SEC list for football.

LSU led all teams with 14 players selected in the first 3 teams including 4 on the first team. Florida was 2nd with the most members with 10 and Georgia had 9.

The Bulldogs had 2 members on the first team. Running back Knowson Moreno and linebacker Dannell Ellerbe received that honor. Moreno was also 1 of 7 unanimous selections.

Here is a complete list of all 3 teams that were selected.

The people at College Football News have made their list of their top 250 2009 possible NFL draft picks. Of course they are not predicting who goes where because it mostly depends which teams got slotted where, and they realize just because you are eligible it doesn’t mean you will enter the draft, but overall they do a very good job. They break it down by rounds and by positions.

Among the local players in the top-50 are Georgia Bulldog running back Knowshon Moreno ranked 8th, quarterback Matthew Stafford ranked 13th and at #44 is defensive tackle Jeffrey Owens. For the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets they have defensive end Michael Johnson ranked #11th and defensive tackle Vance Walker at number 21. More Bulldogs and Yellow Jackets are mentioned later on.

Check out the complete projected 2009 NFL Draft list.

I can’t take any credit with the article, but Andy Staples of SI.com does a good job talking about the University of Georgia’s superhero, Knowshon Moreno.

Georgia’s next superhero may be the one Bulldogs fans call “Special K.” Mild-mannered — and able-footed — college student during the week, he turns into a relentless ground-gaining machine on fall Saturdays. His not-so-secret identity? Knowshon Moreno.
