Yeah, Cody was really good, but Lavalais had one of the best seasons for a D-lineman that I can remember. He had 60+ tackles (a ton for that position) and over 1/4th of them were for losses. He racked up sacks and hurries when teams passed and you couldn't run on him either. He was unstoppable.

Based on what? Rohan Davey started one season and in that season he had Josh Reed accounting for more than a third of his yardage and almost a quarter of his completions.
Rohan Davey is Blake Sims. Only substitute Reed for Cooper.

I think the list is somewhat fair, but Clayton is far too low. I would imagine if you asked Saban, he would have him top 10. That class at LSU changed his life and Clayton, Marquise Hill, and Spears should all be at least top 15.

For those lacking an argument. Also try "and it ain't even close" to further emphasis your lack of knowledge and ability to form a worthwhile thought.

Where is Andrew Whitworth?

Derrick Henry is NOT even close to being the second best player to play for Saban
NOT even close? He's the first (and only) RB in the SEC to rush for over 2,000 yards, breaking a 30+ year SEC record by one of the best college RBs ever, won the Heisman, Maxwell, Camp, and Doak Walker, was a unanimous All-American, SEC Offensive Player of the Year, and SEC Championship Game MVP. He's the most decorated player to ever play for Alabama, much less Saban. I could see an argument that he was the best player to ever play for Saban...
That being said, seeing how OL and defensive players aren't as widely recognized as skill players, especially during the awards season, I could also see arguments that he should be rated a little lower, but NOT even close to being #2? That's a pretty big stretch...so where would you rate him?

I mean did the OP just have a seizure? You have the SEC career leader AND single game leader at #9, but then list two different receivers ahead of him? That makes ZERO sense.

While I think Josh Reed should probably be rated a bit higher than 9, he's actually fifth in SEC career receiving yards...Jordan Matthews from Vandy is #1, followed by Coop, Edwards, Jeffery, and then Reed...

Amari Cooper wished he was Josh reed in 2001

I seriously doubt it...in Coop's 2014 season he had 30 more receptions and over twice the TDs as Reed in 2001...doesn't mean he's better but since it secured him as the 4th overall pick in the draft, I doubt he would've traded that season for Reed's...

Well if you truly live in Hawaii, do I have news for you!!!! They also went for Trump.
That's once, twice, three times the dumbass.

Reed had 94 receptions for more yards and won the blit. He also secured his place as the best WR in a single season.
They both won the SEC so who had a better year?
This isn't about the draft and the article says it
