Who's the hardest hitting Alabama football player? Fastest?

quote:

---

Biggest hitter

-- "I'm going with Reuben Foster. Having to go against him the past couple of years, every time he hits you, you lose. He's so explosive." Nysewander

-- "I'm lucky to say I haven't personally felt that, but they say Ryan Anderson." QB Cooper Bateman

-- "I'd say Reuben is one of the hardest hitters on the team." DL Dalvin Tomlinson

-- "Reuben (Foster). Reggie (Ragland)." DL D.J. Pettway

-- "Reuben Foster, no doubt." OL Alphonse Taylor

-- "Reuben Foster." LB Tim Williams

-- "Reuben Foster." DB Geno Matias-Smith

-- "The d-line." DL A'Shawn Robinson

-- "Reuben. I have to stick with my dog." OL Dominick Jackson

-- "Either Reuben or Reggie. Probably Reuben, though," CB Marlon Humphrey



Fastest player

-- "Bradley Sylve has to be up there." Nysewander

-- "Either Calvin (Ridley) or Sylve." Bateman.

-- "Between Tony Brown and Kenyan (Drake)." Tomlinson

-- "Either Calvin Ridley or Sylve." Pettway

-- "Bradley Sylve." Alphonse Taylor

-- "Bradley Sylve and Anthony Averett." Tim Williams

-- "Probably (Anthony) Averette." Matias-Smith

-- "Sylve," A'Shawn Robinson

-- "I'll give you a top three. It has to be between B. Sylve, ArDarius Stewart and Calvin Ridley ... oh oh, I have to put Robert Foster. I think Robert Foster is probably No. 2." Dominick Jackson

-- "Calvin (Ridley), Bradley (Sylve) ... maybe Calvin." Humphrey

-- "Bradley Sylve or Tony Brown," Cyrus Jones


Pettway added an anecdote about former Alabama receiver Amari Cooper, now a Pro-Bowler with the Oakland Raiders

"Coop used to race all the time," Pettway said. "Coop raced Bradley last year. Robert Foster, Tony Brown and Bradley raced last year. I think Rob won."

Smartest guy on team

-- "I have to go with Ryan Kelly with the way he leads our offense and makes those center calls. It takes a lot of intelligence to do what he does." Nysewander

-- "I think you can say Ryan Kelly. Just the way he carries himself on the field, the calls he makes." Bateman

-- "Ryan Kelly." Pettway

-- "Ryan Kelly. He's a different breed of human being. It's crazy. He's just a different breed." Alphonse Taylor

-- "Ryan Kelly." Tim Williams

-- "Walker Jones. Walker's pretty smart." Matias-Smith

-- "We're all smart." A'Shawn Robinson

-- "Ryan Kelly, hand down. I know he plays with me, but in the film room with him and classroom-wise, the guy is a brainiac. The guy is super smart, super intelligent." Dominick Jackson

-- "Field-wise, I think Reggie's (Ragland) pretty smart." Marlon Humphrey

-- "I guess I'll go with Jake (Coker) because he's the quarterback. They're typically the smartest guys on the field ? him and Ryan Kelly." Cyrus Jones
