its hard to imagine he would have continued to let him play throughout his horrific play since at alabama sans one game...but who knows saban loves his second chances....would he have continued to play him?

Saban would have made JamalMurry27 run steps until he died for starting this thread.

He ranks 2nd in Alabama history for receiving yards after 2 years. Yeah, Saban would have punished him for that.

I don't know if Ryan Williams played soccer as a kid. But if he did, he should have stuck with it. He's one of the most fluid athletes I've ever seen in my life, and he's only however old he is now that he's not 17 anymore.

Soccer also would have fit his mentality better. Not as physical. He'd be living in Europe and have way more money than he does now and getting good seats to all the fashion week shows. Classic case of an American kid who should've played soccer.

It's a mental thing. He drops the easy ones and usually pulls in the hard ones.

I think the worst thing you can do is hit him in the numbers, or close to them. He tries to use his chest to catch them too much and they bounce.

It's fixable, so hopefully he's past it now.

Considering we throw the ball 40 more times than we have in Alabama history 2015 and before i think Julio would have surpassed his numbers in today’s game.

If SABAN was still coach none of the lame sh!t happening wouldn’t even be an issue. He would shut that sh!t down real fcukin quick

Ryan Williams represented a certain new vulnerability with Bama. No other freshman was able to wrestle away the program spotlight like he did before first training camp. Devonta Smith didnt even make a name for himself until the playoffs of his freshman year. Talent usually
had to wait for their turn. Williams was given his due too early and you gotta be careful with that. Auburn gave Bo Nix a triumphant celebration of the entrance and the ending folded.

After leaving Auburn he was a Heisman finalist and is currently a starter in the NFL.

In hindsight Bo Nix does not appear to have been the problem in the Auburn/Bo Nix equation.

He never had drop issues at Saraland, so it's absolutely a mental thing.
