PFF All SEC Team. 10 LSU players make team

QUARTERBACK
First Team: Joe Burrow, LSU
It was a historic game for Joe Burreaux on LSU's Senior Night in Week 14, as he set the SEC single-season passing yard record (4,366) as well as tied the passing touchdown mark (44). He also leads the SEC in adjusted completion percentage (81.8%) and big-time throws (29). There's no shortage of metrics in which Burrow leads, but perhaps the most impressive is that he's also earned the third-highest grade (93.9) that we've ever given to a quarterback since PFF began grading college football in 2014.

It's a poetic end to the regular season for the highest-graded collegiate signal-caller, but that won't be the last we see of Burrow's 2019 campaign, as LSU is looking to earn a bid in the College Football Playoff following the SEC Championship.

RUNNING BACK
First Team: Clyde Edwards-Helaire, LSU
The SEC always showcases premier running back talent, but nobody graded higher as a runner at the position than LSU’s Clyde Edwards-Helaire (90.6) in 2019. Even though the LSU back collected 43 receptions on 49 targets, his real dominance was displayed on the ground. Edwards-Helaire moved the chains 67 times, forced 54 missed tackles and recorded zero fumbles across 185 rushing attempts.

WIDE RECEIVER
First Team: Ja'Marr Chase, LSU
Ja’Marr Chase caps off the awe-inspiring trio of LSU playmakers on this list, and for a good reason. No receiver has caught more passes that have gone for 15 yards or more (38), resulting in his SEC-leading 1,460 yards this season. Chase was the primary beneficiary from Burrow’s record-setting season, but we’d be hard-pressed to award Burrow all the credit. The wide receiver’s 7.9 yard-after-the-catch average ranks fifth among SEC receivers with 50-plus targets and his 91.9 receiving grade leads all Power Five pass-catchers.

Second-Team WR: Justin Jefferson, LSU

CORNERBACK
First Team: Derek Stingley Jr., LSU
It seems as if the SEC boasts surefire NFL talent at the front-seven positions every year, but the secondary may have stolen that identity this season. LSU corner Derek Stingley Jr. leads all Power Five cornerbacks with an 89.2 PFF grade, which is mostly comprised of his astounding 89.6 coverage grade. He’s been targeted as the primary defender in coverage 72 times this season, allowing just 29 receptions and forcing an incompletion on 23.6% of said targets. Though a freshman, his play imitates a red-shirt senior as he’s maintained a 62.4 passer rating when targeted.

FLEX DEFENSE
First Team: Kristian Fulton, LSU
Fulton, the LSU cornerback opposite Derek Stingley Jr., earned the third-highest grade (88.5) for an SEC cornerback. This marks the second season in which Fulton has produced an 88.0-plus defense grade. If once is a coincidence and twice is a trend, then he may just be one of the most dominant defensive backs in the SEC. Of the 54 targets that came his way, Fulton made a play on the ball 16 times with an interception to boot. The LSU cornerback played press coverage on 265 of his 407 coverage snaps and forced 10 incompletions on 35 targets.
