5. Jamoral Graham 

It’s hard to believe because it seems like he just got here, but Smokey is a junior. I’m a huge fan of his skill set but he’s yet to really make an impact at Mississippi State.

Now at cornerback, Graham has a chance to make a name for himself due to some key injuries at that position. He’s got the talent to become a really good SEC defensive back, the question is will he be able to do it.

This is the weakest position on the field, made worse that the secondary was the weakest unit on the field in Week 1. With Smokey’s ability he really needs to take the next step.

Next: No. 4
