The preseason pick to win the SEC has the most preseason first-team All-SEC selections.

The media preseason All-SEC teams were released Friday morning. Thirteen Alabama players were named preseason All-SEC, including a league-high seven players on the first team.

The Tide's first-team selections: sophomore wide receiver Calvin Ridley, senior tight end O.J. Howard, junior left tackle Cam Robinson, senior defensive lineman Jonathan Allen, senior linebacker Reuben Foster, senior safety Eddie Jackson and junior punter JK Scott.

There were four Alabama players on the second team -- redshirt senior guard Alphonse Taylor, senior outside linebacker Tim Williams, sophomore cornerback Minkah Fitzpatrick and redshirt senior kicker Adam Griffith.

Ridley was the third-highest overall vote-getter, behind only LSU running back Leonard Fournette and Ole Miss quarterback Chad Kelly.
