Shane Ray leads the SEC on sacks and tackles for a loss. He is 3rd in the nation for those categories. He will be the Defensive Player of the Year in the SEC........the best football conference in the country. He will be a top 5 overall pick in the draft.........possibly the #1 overall pick. Ray was a semifinalist for the Lombardi & Nagurski awards. National awards for the best Defensive Player and an award for the best Defensive Lineman/Linebacker. He made the semifinal cut but but didn't make the Finalist list. Potential SEC Defensive POY & overall #1 draft pick and he isn't a finalist.

Another snub to Mizzou. Is a "HomeofToto" grad in charge of counting votes???? Seriously. He plays for a team leading their conference and is sitting at 8-2 overall. Reminds me of Chase Coffman being a second team Big 12 TE in 2008, yet he was a Consensus First Team All American & won the Mackey Award for the best TE in the same season.

He might have a chip on his shoulder this weekend. I wouldn't want to be the one blocking him.
