It is crazy to think how Ryan Kelly was a higher draft pick and may have a more successful NFL career than Barret Jones, who we all considered on of the greatest offensive lineman in Alabama history. Yet, Ryan Kelly was hardly mentioned in the same breath.

Kelly was more physically gifted than Barrett Jones IMO. Jones brought a rare leadership role to the team that was priceless though. I look for lots of early round draft picks from our line over the next five years. We have never been this loaded at OL. Next year Leatherwood may be better than all of them.

Jones had a better career at Alabama and basically played all positions at one point or another. Extremely smart dude who also got a masters degree before it was over with.

Ryan Kelly just kind of highlights how lucky we are with lineman and talent these days that he doesn't stick out as much.
