Alabama wouldn't let Daron Payne go any higher.

The numbers were beyond impressive during the team's spring testing — a 365-pound power clean, a 500-pound bench press and a 600-pound squat to go along with a 4.93 in the 40-yard dash at 6-foot-2, 319 pounds. But the Tide's standout sophomore defensive tackle told his high school coach, Bill Smith, that he could have done more in those three lifts if he had been allowed to do more weight, especially the bench press and squat.

It was similar for Da'Shawn Hand.

Alabama loses two potential first-round picks along the defensive line, A'Shawn Robinson and Jarran Reed. No problem. The Tide is able to replace them with these two, Payne and Hand, two former five-star recruits that are likely among the most freakish athletes in the country in terms of their combination of size, strength and athleticism.

That's a good article. If these two continue on the path they're on now they will both be high first round draft picks. I think our defensive line might be more explosive than last years. Kind hard to believe considering Alabama led the nation in sacks last year..
