AL.com All-Access: Which SEC player has the best shot at the Heisman Trophy in 2018?

Five of the last 11 Heisman Trophy winners have been from the SEC.

There was Florida's Tim Tebow in 2007, Alabama's Mark Ingram in 2009, Auburn's Cam Newton in 2010, Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel in 2012 and Alabama's Derrick Henry in 2015.

In that span, the SEC hasn't gone more than two years without a Heisman winner. With the last two Heisman winners -- Louisville's Lamar Jackson and Oklahoma's Baker Mayfield -- coming from outside the SEC, it seems like it's about time for the league to produce another one.

So who among current SEC players has the best chance at bringing home the trophy in 2018?

The Heisman has always been a quarterback/running back award, and has become even more a quarterback award in recent years. Henry, Ingram and USC's Reggie Bush in 2005 are the only running backs this century to win the Heisman (and Ingram had his taken away due to NCAA sanctions).

According to the Vegas odds, there are seven SEC players with a better than 50-to-1 chance to win the 2018 Heisman. Let's look at them one-by-one.

Jake Fromm, QB, Georgia (10/1) -- There are rumblings he might not be the starter all year, and even if he is, he's not likely to put up huge numbers.

Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama (10/1) -- Again, not guaranteed to be the starter, but if he is, has the preseason hype and the supporting cast to pull it off.

Jalen Hurts, QB, Alabama (20/1) -- It would be something of an upset if Hurts wins the starting job, and if he does, he's not likely to post the passing numbers to get Heisman notice.

Jarrett Stidham, QB, Auburn (25/1) -- He's got the ability and a good receiving corps, but offensive line issues might help him. And in general, a QB needs to be in the national title race to get serious Heisman consideration.

D'Andre Swift, RB, Georgia (33/1) -- The latest in a long line of talented Georgia backs, he doesn't have much preseason hype. He'd probably need to approach 2,000 yards rushing to have a chance.

Drew Lock, QB, Missouri (33/1) -- Should put up huge numbers, but again, how good will his team be? The Tigers would probably need to win the East for Lock to have any kind of Heisman campaign.

Nick Fitzgerald, QB, Mississippi State (33/1) -- Love his talent and his game, but he's coming off an injury. Also, if Dak Prescott couldn't win the Heisman, Fitzgerald won't.

I figure Tagovailoa's probably the best bet here, but I'd have a hard time expecting too much from someone who has never started a game. Stidham could have a shot, but Auburn would need to have a really special year (even better than last year).

So which of these players do you think has the best chance at the Heisman? Anybody not on the list you think should be considered?

I'll take your questions and comments on that or anything else on your mind beginning at 10 a.m.
