The Alabama coach has liked what he's seen at practice this week.
Alabama coach Nick Saban and three players stopped by the media room on the final day media availability heading into Saturday's season opener against Michigan.
Five big things stood out above the rest.
1. Kelly Johnson went from high school quarterback, to a player with few scholarships, to an Alabama walk-on long snapper, to an Alabama walk-on special teams player, to Alabama's starting H-back.
- "You never expect it but you dream about getting this opportunity every day, especially when you're a child watching football all your life."
2. Safety Vinnie Sunseri has known Johnson since middle school.
- "I actually watched him when he was growing up and being able to dunk a ball in like seventh grade. He was a freak athlete. I was like, 'Wow, I want to be like Kelly.'"
