Without his late season injury, Kelly would have competed for the 1st-team position but was defeated by Jalen Hurts from Alabama for the position.
Evan Engram finished the season with 65 catches for 926 yards and 8 touchdowns. Engram accounted for 20.1% of Chad Kelly and Shea Patterson’s targets.
Evan is the first player in Ole Miss history to make All-SEC honors all four seasons.
