UGA’s A.J. Green, Terrence Edwards among Athlon’s 10 best SEC receivers of BCS era
Athlon Sports included Georgia's A.J. Green and Terrence Edwards among its list of the 10 best SEC wide receivers of the BCS era.
Green ranks No. 3 behind Florida’s Percy Harvin and Vanderbilt’s Jordan Matthews. Says Ahtlon: “Based on raw talent alone, Green is the one of the greatest receivers to play the game. In a league not known for big passing numbers, Green led the SEC in yards and touchdowns as a true freshman. His rare blend of size, speed, vertical ability and red zone ball skills makes him one of the game’s most uncoverable targets.”
Edwards is No. 7 with Josh Reed (LSU), Julio Jones (Alabama) and Randall Cobb (Kentucky) at Nos. 4 through 6. Athlon on Edwards: “When he graduated from UGA, Edwards was the SEC’s all-time leading receiver in yards and was No. 2 in receptions. Both records have since been broken but Edwards’ legacy is unchanged as one the league’s best pass-catchers.”
Alshon Jeffery (South Carolina), Dwayne Bowe (LSU) and Earl Bennett (Vanderbilt) round out the top 10.
Georgia’s Fred Gibson is included among the “best of the rest.”
