Among the SEC players who didn't get drafted were Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray, Arkansas guard Alvin Bailey, Auburn running back Onterio McCalebb, Mississippi State receiver Chad Bumphis and Alabama safety Robert Lester.
Bray was the most surprising because of his big arm and ability to throw the football, although there were serious questions among NFL scouts about his football smarts, maturity and work ethic.
