Auburn defensive back Jaylin Simpson leads the SEC in interceptions three games into the season.
Simpson has picked off a pass in all three of Auburn's games so far this season, which has him at a top the SEC in picks.
There are three players on his tail with two picks, but for the time being, Simpson leads the conference in interceptions.
The senior defensive back has played some good football this season and is a big reason why it has been so difficult to throw the football against the Auburn Tigers.
We have talked about Auburn needing to create more turnovers, and so far this season, they have delivered with five interceptions and two fumble recoveries.
If the Tigers continue to create turnovers, they will overachieve in Hugh Freeze's first season on the Plains.
If Simpson continues to play the way he has through three games the rest of the season, he has a real shot to lead the SEC in interceptions.
