Ranking SEC quarterbacks after Week 2: There’s a new No. 1

The reigning Heisman Trophy winner, Alabama quarterback Bryce Young, entered Week 2 as the favorite to win the award again this season. But following a performance that left a bit to be desired vs. Texas, Young will have some ground to make up if he hopes to repeat in 2022.

Georgia quarterback Stetson Bennett has looked like the best passer in the league through two weeks this year and despite not yet playing a full 60 minutes in his first two games, he is still second in the conference in yards with 668. A weak performance from Florida passer Anthony Richardson dropped the Gators’ quarterback in our rankings this week as his team fell to Will Levis and Kentucky. Meanwhile, Tennessee’s Hendon Hooker and Arkansas‘ KJ Jefferson continue to impress and both had big-time wins over the weekend.
