An NFL scout said Auburn DT Angelo Blackson is one of his early breakout players nationally.
The scout visited the campuses of Alabama and Auburn and issued the following warning to the Crimson Tide: "They better watch out, because Auburn is coming." He believes The Tigers have more NFL prospects on defense than Alabama. "It really shocks me," the scout said. "Alabama’s not there yet defensively. If you want to play bully ball and smack heads with them, you’re probably going to be in trouble. But when those guys get in space, it seems like they’re heavy-legged. You’ve seen it against Auburn and Oklahoma. When they play a fast team that’s good in space, they struggle." Blackson was named the nation's No. 31 DT and the No. 2 player from the state of Delaware by Rivals.com back in 2011. Auburn got itself a steal from the Blue Hen State.

I want to see Blackson get to the QB more. He has played ok for the most part.

No problem with anyone having an opinion. But I reserve the right not to look out.

Great analysis by a guy that can't even put his name to it. I'm sold.

Is anybody shocked by this news?

Meh.
Let's see it on the field. As far as Auburn's defense goes, I haven't seen them play good defense in almost a decade.

I feel so sad for AU fans that can't even enjoy being an Auburn fan without constantly worrying about Bama.
A lot of "auburn fans" I know are just Bama anti-fans who follow Bama hoping for a loss instead of a win.

Well duh. We have a lot of young defense players.

So Blackson is the only AU defensive player he mentions? Is he really even going to get drafted? I mean, this is the only draft hype I've ever seen him get...
Just kind of a weird write-up.

It is probably not just Auburn right now. Guys, the NFL has gutted us the past few years, on both sides of the ball. Just the law of averages will have many young guys playing, or junior/seniors (who have been backups for years) because many of the younger guys are not quite ready yet (like Humphrey/Brown).
This is only interesting to AU fans and trolls.

This is such a little brother thread to start.

Meh.
That scout obviously felt so strong about his opinion that he wished to remain anonymous. This is because:
A. He realized that it was a stupid statement. Or...
B. Nervous about repercussions from crazy-arse Alabama fans.
The answer is A.
