Watching him in high school in Mobile, I thought he would be a starter at Bama by his sophomore year. He’s very talented. I agree, he couldn’t develop because the coaches kept switching him.


not really accurate on the last part. You take a guy and switch positions on him because he isnt thriving in the one he is in so you can afford to do so PLUS coaches dont just tell them to switch, its up to the player to accept the request.

He was a heck of an athlete but sometimes thats just not enough

Serious question ... who was the last player to make a significant position change and be successful here? It always feels like those guys get shafted, somehow.

And by "significant" change, I don't mean moving from corner to safety, or tackle to guard. I mean something like Kennedy experienced, moving from linebacker to running back.

Is that what it was? I thought he was helping the team out because so many RBs got hurt.
