4. Vanderbilt

Vanderbilt might surprise some people by being on this list, but don’t sleep on the Commodores. Ralph Webb might be the most underrated player in the SEC. Webb rushed for 1,283 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2016. Webb nearly has three straight 1,000-yard seasons and has averaged 1,114 yards per season.

But make no mistake, it is not a one-man show. Khari Blasingame brings the thunder to Webb’s lightning. Blasingame rushed for 449 yards and 10 touchdowns in 2016.
