Wrap your head around this, prior to Saban, there were only 6 national award winners. Since Saban, 26 or 27 national award winners.

Jason Maxson mentioned this in the above video.

there were only 6 national award winners.

Hrrmm...

Thomas
Bennett
Barker
Langham, and I believe he has two.
Samuels
Ryans

Six individuals, seven awards.

If we add coaches...likely at 12 or 13. As I recall Stallings had five or six in '92.

Just going by what he said, I haven't bothered confirming. I'd hope he's spouting legit data.

That was off the top of my head...not sure if I'm right. I'm pretty sure I'm close, if not correct.

Some of these awards weren't around in Coach Bryant's day. I know the Bednarik didn't start until the mid 90's and it was started a year or two after the Nagurski. Doak, Heisman, Camp, and Maxwell have been around for years. The Joe Moore award that the OL won in '15 was in its inaugural year. The Lott award can't be that old. The Campbell award was before those other two mentioned earlier but not by much.

It's a lot to keep up with and it's something I've casually started doing since Mark's Heisman year.

^^ Good points about award inception dates.

From the 2018 Media guide (starting page 140). Hmm, the numbers don't align. Not sure what they're considering a national award, but I do know what a major award is (A Christmas Story reference ). Only 5 of these were during Bear's days.

I just cut the grass, had some time to spare...LOL
