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.

This was pretty damn tough. I could have made 10 different lists and wouldn't have been satisfied with any of them.

1. Derrick Henry
2. Amari Cooper
3. Javier Arenas
4. AJ McCarron
5. Barret Jones
6. CJ Mosley
7. Dont'a Hightower
8. Dee Milliner
9. Julio Jones
10. Mark Barron

I'll take a stab.

1) (easy #1) Julio Jones. Game changer. Culture changer. Perception changer. Effort changer. Julio never went out of bounds voluntarily. Ever.

The rest:
Trent Richardson. Don't care about him being a bust. He was the most dominant runner we had.
Hightower
Barron
Rolo
Cooper
Henry
Ingram
Dareus
AJ

Honorable Mentions:
Kevin Norwood - the Robert Horry of the Saban era.
Jawlston Fowler - warrior coming back from injury
Kenyan Drake - see Jawlston Fowler
Javy. Probably belongs in the top 10. Just too many.
