Yeah. Of course, Pruitt certainly benefited (as did Bama) from players in the secondary like:

Dre Kirkpatrick - 1st rounder
Dee Milliner - 1st rounder
Haha Clinton-Dix - 1st Rounder
Mark Barron - 1st Rounder
Robert Lester - still in NFL
Vinni Sunseri - 5th rounder

And guys putting pressure on QB like:
Dareus - 1st rounder
Hightower - 1st rounder
Mosley - 1st rounder
Upshaw - 2nd rounder

Pruitt helped Bama, no doubt, but he was helped by the talent. While Bama still has talented players, they don't have the 2010-2012 level of talent at CB or LB right now.
