BOL Round Table

Tyren was the top RB in the country for the 2013 class, IMO. However, I do think Henry is an exception to the rule. Watching him run in the Army AA game, I was blown away. I really think he can be an elite back as well.
Of course, Kamara is a different kind of back and is elite in his own right. It's hard to draw one up that looks better than Tenpenny. They are all fantastic and I'm glad we got all of them. Tyren is the best but they can all be great.

We are insanely talented at the RB position...All of our RB's have NFL talent

1. TJ Yeldon (5 star)
2. Jalston Fowler (4 star)
3. K. Drake (4 star)
4. D. Henry (5 star)
5. T. Jones (4 star)
6. A. Tennpenny (4 star)
7. A. Kamara (4 star)
8. D. Hart (5 star)

I'm just sayin'........

I'll bite... I won't compete on stat knowledge, but over the past 10 or so yrs, what is the average height of an NFL RB? If its roughly 5'9', then the best backs make sense. Just like some QBs having legs in the modern game or TEs who can catch, we've seen a trend of both big pounding backs and tiny scat backs more recently.

Also, the best rookie backs (and I honestly believe this) are a product of the system. No doubt they're great RBs, but a team committed to running with a good O-line will have a good RB. Trent got his yards due to the amount of carries and brute force... The dude got close to zero blocking.

So I'm not disagreeing, but I don't know what you're trying to prove with this info? We all know you have man love for Tyren... And orobably deservedly so. Hope he can pass protect.

Herschel Walker

Eddie George has to be up there.

This,,,,
There are lies , damn lies and statistics.
Aubies have manipulated stats for years to make there history look better than ours,,, using certain segments and time frames.

However, I don't really doubt BBD, Jones is a stud and I look forward to watching him play, it is an embarrassment of riches really.
Fwiw I see Henry in a role similar to Fowler and Jones will be a feature back, or as close as we will see in a Saban offense.
