I know CA always shares with us the player grades....I thought everyone would enjoy how some of our Alumni did last week in the NFL as well.

5 Former Bama Players graded 1st in the NFL at their position....

Wide receiver: Amari Cooper, Oakland Raiders, 87.9

Amari Cooper made life tough for rookie Chiefs CB D.J. White, catching passes for 63 yards against White alone, and adding another 66 against other defenders. In total he caught 10 of the 13 targets thrown his way.

Left guard: James Carpenter, New York Jets, 84.5

It’s probably fair at this point to call James Carpenter a successful reclamation project by the Jets. In a different blocking scheme he has been a far better player, and has even improved on his pass protection this year. Against the Cardinals, he surrendered just a single QB pressure.

Center: Ryan Kelly, Indianapolis Colts, 86.2

This was the best game of rookie center Ryan Kelly’s young career. Against the Texans, he recorded his first clean sheet in pass protection, allowing no QB pressure on 44 pass-blocking snaps—the only member of the Colts’ O-line to hold up all game.

Linebacker: Dont’a Hightower, New England Patriots, 90.0

There is no better player on the blitz than Patriots linebacker Dont’a Hightower, who has an ability to hide his approach behind linemen before exploding into the gap and bursting through it before the blockers can react and slow his approach. Against the Bengals, he tallied five total QB pressures on only 10 blitzes.

Safety: Landon Collins, New York Giants, 84.4

Landon Collins has been reborn for the Giants this season, having been moved closer to the line in his second year as a pro. Against the Ravens, he led New York in solo tackles (nine), total tackles (11), and defensive stops (five), not to mention chipping in with a sack and two QB hurries on the blitz.
