This is the type of player I love at Alabama.

Wow. That is really impressive. I have no idea how he fits in at UA but the fact he's such a great student, QB, RB, everything is a good sign he will find a way to be successful. Says so much about his intelligence and character.

I see him as the X. Marks type of player... Who'm we haven't been able to use much at all. When you see our non Ridley receiver stats and in years past the non Cooper stats it seems like there is little hope for secondary options

I was thinking a possible Richard Mullaney type. That guy was big for us that Championship season. Just need someone to finess enough to find the holes, settle, and that can catch.

I would like to see him in the secondary.
