Rethinking it all and going purely on what they did here as starters:

Derrick Henry
Trent Richardson
Mark Ingram
TJ Yeldon
Eddie Lacy
Glen Coffee
Terry Grant


This is tough for sure.

2015 Henry made huge strides from 2014 in his between the tackled toughness and leg strength. Some of those guys had better overall 3 year careers but as far as finished products this his how i would rank them.

Now of course thats finished product before the NFL. Because something was wrong with Richardson on the next level that was different than the guy who killed it in CF.

I gotta go with overall career, with a sprinkling of who I'd pick first when building a team.

Richardson - an absolute physical specimen who refused to go down
Ingram - solid three year work horse and the heart and soul of he 2009 team
Yeldon - maybe our most versatile back?
Henry - warrior
Lacy - will never forget the title game against ND
Coffee
Grant

Henry didn't really get the opportunity his freshman year.

He was excellent last year, especially in the second half of the season.

This year he is having the best year in Alabama football history, and he's done it with a mediocre pass offense, and mediocre at best Oline.

And he still hasthe SEC championship game.

Not sure how he is not number one on everyone's list.
