Why do Bama RBs grossly under perform at the next level?

Former SEC RBs make up 20% of all top 50 NFL rushers at this point in the season. A few UA Heisman trophy winners scattered in there, as well. One of those HT winners has never rushed for 1000 yards in any of his NFL seasons. With the seasons extended to 16 games; all a player needs to do is average 62.5 yards a game to reach that mark.

With RBs from LSU, Florida, aTm, and Georgia scattered throughout; what is it about the "system" at UA that doesn't allow for success of these young men at the next level?

Even Cam Newton, a QB, has found much success toting the rock as a professional.

Because they actually suck. Saban is just that good of a coach to make them look and get them highly drafted.

And that's because he's in a system that hasn't produced a 1000 yard rusher in over a decade.

Crappy teams draft them and don't bother to draft any of the OLine they ran behind?

Why does it matter if they over perform in college and win championships?

Just more evidence of the outstanding coaching they get at Alabama. Doesn't Bama have more RBs in the league than any other school?

Why do lsu players grossly under perform in college?

You had one of the most experienced teams coming into the year with a once in a generation running back and the best you can show for it is likely a trip to the Belk Bowl.

It's just not a running league anymore. On top of that, too many RBBC in the NFL.

Who carries the torch for LSU RBs? Jeremy Hill?!!

Maybe it is because at Alabama they practice catching screen passes instead of practicing running.

They just over preform in college. It's one thing running through an Oline that can hold on every play for you to run by and having to earn yards in the NFL.

Because most "grossly underperform at the next level."

No interest in joining this clown show beyond simply suggesting you refer to the last time you made this shitty thread and then spent the rest of your family vacation 'trolling.' I'm sure you can find your answer there.
