Or, you know, lose to their rival in the most hilarious way possible in the era where stuff like that is well preserved. Go to an Auburn game, they show it roughly 58,000 times in their pregame. It is amazing.
Still fires up everyone every time its played. Auburn fans, weigh in. Are you guys tired of seeing and hearing the kicksix yet? I put the overunder of when it gets old at August of 2097. I'm taking the over.

Are you kidding? Most Alabama players aren't good at all in the NFL. Saban has been at Alabama for 8 or 9 years and he has only had 1 or 2 players make it to the Pro Bowl in the NFL
3 since 2011 alone...but keep making shite up.

There. I didn't list anyone outside of the third round unless they were having a good season (of which none really stood out, except the possibility of Kyle Williams).
So... LSU = NFL Bust U?

Name all the pro bowlers under Saban. Julio Jones once. Marcel Dareus as an alternate once. Who else? Still not very good when you consider Cam Newton has made the pro bowl twice himself. Almost more than all players Saban has produced at Alabama by himself

All high school players should understand now that even if you arent great, Saban will make you a first rounder.

Why bring facts,

This is the most laughable criticism I have ever heard. Mark Ingram is leading the NFL in average rush. Three months ago he was a bust.

Shhhh. The big kids are talking.

I think the only thing to take away from the OP is that Saban doesn't give two shits about his players after they leave campus, get all you can get out of it then throw it away. The only reason a player would come back to visit Bama is because of his Alma Mater not to hang with Saban.
Go ask Rolando McClain if Saban helps his x-players.

That's an awfully dangerous proposition.
I don't think anyone wants an answer to that question badly enough to wade into his batshit.

Wow... that's not a hack piece of journalism at all.
You need to change your title Sparky... unless you learned to read in a public school system.

Are Alabama's players burned out by the time they're drafted into the NFL? Have NFL executives taken notice of this possible trend with the Crimson Tide? Will Alabama players be drafted differently going forward?

Kick Six never gets old. Cody Mandell's attempt to tackle Davis is still hilarious to this day.

Trent Richardson and Mark Barron were both traded before their Rookie contracts were up so all their college hype meant little in the NFL. Also, ask Saints fans what they think of Mark Ingram
He is finally stepping up. It took him several years to learn how to play NFL football and not play like he played at Alabama.
Eddie Lacy is doing really well, though. Still funny how he got into college.

You couldn't be more wrong about the highlight of that play. Vogler (?) getting detonated is amazing. Of this, there can be no debate.

Not a Saints fan. I love how the guy could absolutely suck and be a HUGE bust for 3 and a half years, he has one 100 yard game and one good game after and the Gumps are like "ASK SAINTS FANS HOW THEY LIKE THEIR THURMON THOMAS/BARRY SANDERS HYBRID THAT THE MIDGET BEAR BESTOWED ON THEM! ROW TAHD!"

Could you post the stats for Bama players drafted during that same period for comparison, since you seem to have so much time on your hands?

Tell me that isn't true.
They act like a guy with two games of 100 yards rushing is an NFL stalwart and like its a lock that the Saints will re-sign him next year. Posted on 10/30/14 at 3:52 pm to undecided
