Some of these lists are really fun and very challenging. Who are your top 10 and if you want to go a step further, rank them...

I will try to rank mine later but my top 10 are:

Eddie Lacy
Amari Cooper
AJ McCarron
Derrick Henry
Trent Richardson
Donta' Hightower
CJ Mosley
Marcel Dareus
Julio Jones
Mark Barron

I did consider Rashad Johnson but he was a Shula recruit so I held off and some of the OL greats but they are tough to sort out in the mix as well.

This is going to be a very unpopular opinion but in terms of production, Julio Jones should not be in the Top 10.

But in terms of talent he should be #1. Like Ozzie Newsome 30+ years before him, he was underutilized while a player at Alabama. Five years later he's looking like a surefire future Pro Football Hall of Famer.

Everyone forgetting Fluker and Andre Smith.

Fluker was a mauler at RT. Absolute beast.

Anyone list Dareus ?

I would also have Ridley on the list. He will be a top ten pick in two years.

3. Javier Arenas
4. AJ McCarron
5. Barret Jones
6. CJ Mosley

Chose Hightower over McClain because of his versatility.

Just too many to list. I want Upshaw and HaHa on my list but didn't have room. While I think we have had better OL than Jones he may be the most decorated player ever at Bama.
