We return more starters and total starts than any team in the league. We're not "deep" at QB, however, we're one of only 4-5 SEC teams who even knows who their starter is, so we're deeper than than most. Not many other SEC teams have 2 5 star RBs, so we're deeper than most there, especially when you consider we'll back them up with 3-4 other talented RBs. We're as deep and as talented as any team in the league at WR and safety, we have excellent depth at DE, and we return 8 OLs each who have made multiple starts in their career to date. We also return 2 TEs who played in nearly every game last year, 1 CB who has started all 25 games in his career, another who played in all 13 games last year, and we'll bring in another (Martin) who was arguably the best JUCO CB in the country last year who the coaches have said will be counted on to contribute immediately.
Our depth isn't as good as it could be or as good as it surely will be next year, but it's certainly much better than a lot of people want to admit or believe it is, especially when compared to the talent and depth that exist on the teams in the conference.
