SEC’s Greatest: McFadden, Andrews for Hogs named to All-Quarter Century Team

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas landed a couple of players on the All-SEC Quarter Century Team selected by Rotowire.

You can probably guess the two Razorbacks that made the list. It will be left up to the fans for the arguments that will ensue after this.

Former Hogs running back Darren McFadden and offensive lineman Shawn Andrews each earned spots among the conference’s greatest players of the last 25 years.
