Is the Sec faster?

An interesting analysis of the speed question. He argues that it is not overall speed but the speed of the D-line that is the difference.
There are 404 defensive linemen on NFL rosters through June 2008. Of them...
80 are from the SEC (19.8%, or one in 5)
38 are from the Big 12
36 are from the Pac 10
34 are from the Big 10
The SEC produces more than double the defensive line talent of the next-closest conference.
Also, if you include linemen from what I've labeled "SEC country," the numbers get more lopsided:
SEC country accounts for 37.3% of NFL defensive linemen. Also, only three teams don't have a single SEC player on their defensive-line roster.
