The main reason that teams feel that Clinton-Dix and Pryor could make it into the 20s is because neither one is considered to be a rare athlete with elite speed. As one source said, "Neither one of these guys is an Earl Thomas-like athlete." That was proven at the Combine when they had solid, but unspectacular 40 times at 4.58 seconds. Clinton-Dix looked better in the field drills, but neither dominated the Combine.

Multiple sources also pointed out that defensive backs from Nick Saban's programs have disappointed in the NFL. As one source said, the best defensive backs he produced could be Roman Harper and LaRon Landry, and even the latter didn't live up to his billing. Perhaps Dre Kirkpatrick or Dee Milliner will break that mold, but multiple staffers from around the NFL feel that Alabama defenders have been overhyped and haven't validated those expectations at the next level.

Can't take article serious. Roman Harper never played for him.

He's a S dumbass

Pryor is a stud as well but a couple teams that need a physical S like Dallas will consider him

Sounds familiar, last year NFL scout quotes were questioning the health etc of Bama players. Then three Bama guys were picked top 11. Beat goes on, Bama guys will continue to get drafted, articles will continue each year

Is this good or bad as it pertains to Saban?

If true, it means he gets his players drafted higher than their abilities. Seems like a really good selling point.

Notice that Alabama fans don't reciprocate with an obsession of Auburn's draft prospects.
