Dammmmmmmmmnnnnnn.....kid is just a "baller"!!

He is. He looks great with the ball in his hands. May end up on offense.

He reminds me of Ardarius cause he too literally never came off the football field playing on both sides of the ball & is just a pure playmaker on the offensive side of the ball with the ball in his hands..The rich only gets richer..Welcome to Bama Chadarius..His video brings a smile to my face knowing Chadarius will be in Crimson next season..

Hard to watch his highlights and not think of Kenyan Drake. Very quick lateral movement and great vision. Possibility for a spot in the backfield? Pretty loaded back there, but what skill position group isn't stacked?

Believe Drake is actually the player the staff told him they wanted to use him like.

Had no idea. He fits the mold.

So does Minkah Fitzpatrick. Jonathan Allen is also pretty nimble w/the ball.

Perfect comparison IMO. Saw him in a couple tack meets in the spring. He's fast. He's fluid. Has star potential.

Don't know him personally but the comments on his demeanor and personality seem to be spot on just watching him during and between events. Very mature interaction with those around him young and old.

Great news! Glad to see these guys showing up early and trying to contribute.

correction, with team but did not practice

I see all the other early guys are taking part in practice. Is there something like a nagging injury keeping this guy off the field? With his speed it would like he would certainly help Bama prepare for Monday.

According to a BOL article, Townsend and McDonald haven't taken physicals with UA yet. Therefore, they can't practice.

Lifted this from an article (citation below) “They definitely want him on offense,” said Townsend. “The coaches said they want to use him like they did Kenyan Drake. He will coming out of the backfield and catching some passes. He will do some kickoff returns and punt returns.”

Looks like he will fill that role after all.

Townsend and Ruggs returning kicks? That would rock
