Top SEC Wide Receivers And Running Backs Of 2015

Let's take a look at the top running backs and wide receivers of this SEC season:


Running Backs:


1. Derrick Henry

Derrick Henry had a great season last year, with 990 rushing yards on 172 attempts, despite splitting time with TJ Yeldon. Coming in at 6'3", 242 pounds, Henry is a force to bring down, and should have a big season. He will be sharing snaps with the versatile Kenyan Drake, and the Tide should have a solid backfield this season.

2. Nick Chubb

Nick Chubb was dominant last season for Georgia, with 1,547 yards and 14 touchdowns. However, the majority of those yards and touchdowns were accomplished in the latter part of the season due to the injury and suspension of Todd Gurley II.

3. Leonard Fournette

Fournette was basically the offense last season for LSU. With a struggling quarterback and not yet developed wide receivers, the Tigers struggled for offensive production. This season, those players should have more experience, and give Fournette some help. He had 1,034 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2014.

4. Jalen Hurd

Hurd at Tennessee comes in much higher on my list than some others' lists, just because I think he has a lot more potential than people are giving him credit for. This is a talented back, on a solid team, that will make an immediate impact as a sophomore. He had 899 yards as a true freshman, and I believe that he will have a huge impact.

5. Jonathan Williams

Williams had over 1,000 yards in 2014, and looks to be one of the best running backs since the Darren McFadden days. He has proven he can play, and is anticipating a big senior season.



Wide Receivers:


1. Laquon Treadwell

Treadwell comes in as the lead receiver for Ole Miss this year, and after last year’s season-ending injury against Auburn, I fully expect him to be the top wide receiver in the SEC. There is a lot of talent in the SEC among wide receivers, but I think Treadwell has the biggest impact on his team.

2. Pharoh Cooper

Cooper at South Carolina is one of Steve Spurrier’s most talented wide receivers since he has been in Columbia. Entering his junior season, he had 1,136 yards and nine touchdowns last season.

3. Robert Foster

Foster at Alabama is underrated among the other SEC receivers, but he has the tools and coaching to be as good as Amari Cooper. Almost as fast, and three inches taller, look for him and freshman Calvin Ridley to make a splash.

4. De’Runnya Wilson

One of the most explosive wide receivers people have ever seen, Wilson is going to have a huge year at Mississippi State. He’s not high on many people’s lists, but I think the ex-basketball player could have a big year.

5. Travin Dural

Dural decided to return for his senior season, and is a huge playmaker for LSU. He didn’t get the best opportunity to make plays last year just because of the team's poor QB play. Hopefully this year he can get some more one-on-one situations and prove why I think he’s one of the best in the SEC.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
