I really thought they would create a spot for our kicker as first team SEC KO returner.

From the Clarion-Ledger:

MSU, Ole Miss players named to all-SEC teams

Four players from both Mississippi State and Ole Miss were selected to the Southeastern Conference coaches’ preseason all-SEC team when it was announced today by the league office in Birmingham.

Three players were first-team selections: Derek Pegues of Mississippi State as a defensive back, Michael Oher of Ole Miss as an offensive lineman and Greg Hardy as a defensive lineman.

Ole Miss also placed defensive lineman Peria Jerry on the second team and offensive lineman John Jerry on the third team.

MSU’s Anthony Dixon (running back) and Jamar Chaney (linebacker) were second team selections. Offensive lineman Anthony Strauder made the third team.

The selections come two days before SEC Media Days, which begin Wednesday afternoon at The Wynfrey Hotel in Hoover, Ala. Mississippi State coach Sylvester Croom and players will meet with the media on Wednesday; Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt and players will participate Thursday.

Media members will vote on their all-SEC teams while there.

Just a little more motivation for our receivers...

THIRD team? This guy runs like he's got rockets attached to his feet... he's amazing (for a friggin' corndog).

I watched him at the olympic trials... he was really something, but the two heats I watched he wasn't in the top 5.

Maybe not, but out of all of those track stars, how many are kick returners on football teams? He's probably the only one.

I'll take our kickers as the best kick return in the SEC. You can't outrun a weak leg.
