Maurice Jones Drew is 5'7".

Short =/= small. Why do our fans perpetuate the myth of '"the Bama back" as a 6' 225 pound player? Saban wants guys who get the handoff, hit the hole, get up field, and don't fumble. If you are 5'6" 170 pounds and you can do that, you will get carries for us.

i just watched film of AT, TJ and AK. AK is a definite take. TJ, AT look interchangeable. they are very similar. thats just one rednecks opinion.

Damn, yesterday was epic. Now we have 12 hours until the Dead Period. I hope we maintain this momentum with Vanderdoes, Conner, and Foster. Would be nice to snag 4 5-stars on Signing Day.

I hate to compare him like this but I keep thinking of Percy Harvin when I think of kamara


I'm a big Kamara guy but Percy was a rare breed. Kamara is still a very good player though.

looking at our RB commits, I have a hard time getting excited over Jones. He is listed at 5 feet 8. That is too small to run between the tackles. Can someone please explain the infatuation here. I will hang up and listen Pawl


Ever heard of MJD? That is a ridiculous statement. Go watch so film before you bash a kid you obviously know nothing about.

never bashed him..made a statement. I have failed to see someone with that size make an impact in the NS offense.
