SEC coaches saw defensive end Antonio Coleman in a similar light as the Associated Press did Monday, but had a better perspective about defensive tackle Sen’Derrick Marks on Tuesday.

Coleman was named First-team All-SEC on Tuesday, while Marks garnered Second-team honors. Coleman received the same standing from the AP on Monday, while Marks was an honorable mention.

Coleman led Auburn with six sacks and 10.5 tackles for loss this season, which ranked tied for fifth and sixth in the SEC, respectively. He finished the season with 46 tackles (29 solo, 17 assists).

Coleman was named the SEC’s Defensive Lineman of the Week following Auburn’s victory over Tennessee, when he collected four tackles, including a sack and 1.5 tackles for loss.

Marks tied for 10th in the SEC with 10 tackles for loss, and finished the season with 32 tackles overall (15 solo, 17 assists). He also had two sacks and a blocked field goal.

Both are juniors and have yet to announce their plans for next season.

Marks projects as a late first round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft if he opts to skip his senior season, according to multiple scouting services.
Coleman has projected anywhere from the second to fourth round.
