It’s not very often that there’s enough quality players five years into a coach’s reign to name an all-star team, but Nick Saban is obviously not your normal coach:

Great list with the exception of including Marcus Carter on the honorable mention (over a guy like DeQuan Menzie). I lost respect for him when he was getting hammered two nights before the 2006 Iron Bowl. Should've been studying film.
Again, very good list though. Scary amounts of talent.

In 2007 he was the starting right tackle, which is very much in line with some of the other names listed under honorable mention.

My goodness, that list is amazing. Another amazing thing is how CNS and the staff developed these young men on and off the field. We are truly in a golden age for Alabama football.

Based on current players, along with both incoming players & commitments/likely future commitments, you won't have to worry about that much longer!

Chris, if you're going to put Capps on just because he started then you have to put all the starters on there. Don't we live in the everyone gets a trophy era? RTR.

I agree Chris. Capps is the only one I would go out of my way to argue. I wouldn't say simply starting one year for Saban makes you all-Saban team material. Not bashing, but he shouldn't make the cut for this list.
