Senior cornerback Cyrus Jones was undoubtedly Alabama’s most consistent player at his position last season. He registered 44 total tackles and a team-high 13 pass breakups and three interceptions.
But on Wednesday evening, during his post-practice press conference, Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban hinted at the possibility of Jones seeing some snaps on the offensive side of the football this fall.
“We’ve tried to do some things with him on offense, and he has gotten some reps there,” Saban said. “We may use him at some point. It’ll be interesting to see how the other players that we have respond and see if we need to do that.
“Cyrus is a real strong part of our defense at a really important position the way we play. We’ve got to have good corners, and he certainly played well for us last year. But that is a consideration that we may use him on offense at some point in time during the season.”
