re: All-Time Nick Saban Team...

Here is my team:

Notes:
Yeldon is on there due to his running style is different than Mark Ingrams. Going for a Kamara/Ingram thing here.

I reallllly wanted to put Caldwell as center but due to smaller DL now a days. I kept Kelly on.

Kevin Norwood gets the start over Calvin Ridley due to maturity, leadership, great chemistry with McCarron and being clutch. Ridley is a good talent but rumors of being a cancer, whining on the field, and has failed many times this year to make the hard catch.

I inserted Rashaan Evans because his leadership and quickness in today's game. I tried to insert some quick players (Mosley & Evans) that can set the edge as well as some very strong run defenders (Foster & Hightower).

DBs were the hardest thing for me. Milliner was lock down, Marlon Humphrey was fairly lock down he gave up some big plays last year though. However, I couldn't keep Robert Lester off the team. 80+ tackles and 14 interceptions. Dee Milliner had 6 INTs, HHCD, Cyrus Jones, Collins, & Humphrey had 5 INTs. My only concern is that I have a lot of safeties in this scenario but I think they can be interchangeable at the CFB level.

Eddie & Cyrus can cover the punt game/kick return game if injuries occur. I also picked Jeremy Shelley over Tiffin. Dude kicked went 5/5 in the national champ game against LSU until he missed the PAT on the TD. I'd kill for a kicker that could drain them like that in big games.

QB: AJ McCarron 
RB: Mark Ingram
RB: TJ Yeldon

I also thought this OL would be dirty.

LT: Andre Smith
LG: Chance Warmack
C: Ryan Kelly
RG: James Carpenter
RT: DJ Fluker

ETA: I think this would be my starting OL. Hate leaving Barrett off because he was great at calling protections and a bonafide leader but the amount of talent on this OL would be nuts.

Carpenter isn’t a Guard

This is the only correct answer

Replace Cam Rob with Tyler Love and you’ve got a pretty good list.
