SEC remains loaded with fierce pass rushers

The Southeastern Conference features another array of talented pass rushers.

This year's hard-to-block pass rushers include the freakishly fast Barkevious Mingo at LSU and South Carolina's twin towers Jadeveon Clowney and Devin Taylor and Georgia All-American Jarvis Jones.

They bring speed, size and nifty moves to their dogged pursuit of quarterbacks, and they represent a trademark of the conference that has won the last six BCS titles: athletic pass rushers.

Former Georgia All-American defensive end and current ESPN analyst David Pollack says "that's what separates the SEC from every other league."

Five SEC defenders ranked among the nation's top 16 in sacks last season. And now Texas A&M joins the mix after leading the nation in sacks.
