No. 10 ANTONIO COLEMAN

Auburn senior defensive end

Why he's No. 10: Coleman fits right into the typical Auburn defensive end mold, a player who is quick enough to play linebacker making life miserable for offensive tackles in the league. Coleman decided to return for his senior season rather than turn pro and is projected as a linebacker at the next level. But he has another season to harass quarterbacks as he did in 2008 when he was among the SEC sack leaders.

Key number: Despite starting only seven of Auburn's games last season, Coleman led the team in sacks with six and tackles for a loss with 10.5. He also led the team in both categories as a sophomore.

Fun fact: When Auburn opens its season on Sept. 25, Coleman will be 23-years old. He turns 23 on Sept. 1.
