Roll Tide Baby! I love hearing about what our guys do in the pros. I try to look up stats on ESPN, but I can't see guys like Ryan Kelly show up in the stats.
Alabama Players in the NFL

Eddie is a big time player and he will be an annual Pro Bowler and will also be an All-Pro. The best thing Saban did for Eddie was move him to safety.
I'm sure you are right but Eddie has amazing ball skills and would have been successful on offense as well. He seemed to always find the seam when returning interceptions and punts as well.
I agree with you. When they put Eddie on punt return you always had a feeling he was going to take it to the house. We got one now who also does it a lot like Eddie and hopefully he will get more chances to make returns in our last few games.
Problem is, look how many backs are getting 20+ carries per week. Not many. Gurley, sometimes AP, and........
It’s a different game. RBs have been devalued so much. It’s sad.

It is not so much that they have been devalued as the value of QBs and receivers has been increased. The game has changed. Chicks dig the long ball.
So do coaches...dig the long ball. Much easier scoring...
BTW, Cyrus K. was just signed by Denver...have always wondered why he didn't make it big, other than jumping offside occasionally.
Also -- every time I see Eddie Jackson do something outstanding part of my brain acts like a Texas fan -- "If only he had not gotten hurt we would have won the championship..." But I honestly believe we would have won by 21 points. He was that good....

And you never will. I read an article on the Colts and it was full of quotes from coaches around the league who were heaping HUGE praise on Kelly. They said he’s arguably one of the best centers in the NFL. Another said if he remains healthy he’d be an easy HOF. That’s some serious praise.

Great site if you want to search and see what our guys are making salary-wise

Agreed. The Rams/Chiefs game looked like OU/Okie St. The Big 12 should be proud that their video game league has changed pro football.
Following up on RTR91's post here is a BOL article. 3 Bama players named POW. Representing. The Bama bust narrative is certainly dead.

Freddie Kitchens moved up to OC after the meltdown in Cleveland. Looks like he's progressing well.

Hearing Freddie's name being thrown around for the UT OC job since he played with Pruitt at Bama. Freddie has been in the NFL too long to go to college IMO.
He would be crazy to leave Cleveland right now especially for UT. Makes no sense...
