If you're looking for the position that most accurately illustrates the genius of Saban, it's this group right here. The coach who used to passionately argue for rules that would bog down pass-happy spread offenses is now the CEO of Wideout Incorporated. Just look at the receivers who didn't make our top three, a list that includes Calvin Ridley, Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs III from Alabama, not to mention Josh Reed and Michael Clayton from LSU and even Plaxico Burress, Derrick Mason and Muhsin Muhammad from Saban's stint at Michigan State from 1995-99. Hey, we told you these roster cuts would be wicked.

Speaking of wicked cuts, our one-back set has another Heisman winner set up in the backfield. Henry won the stiff-armed man in 2015 and he edges out the 2009 winner, Mark Ingram II. Why? Have you ever seen the two of them standing side-by-side? It's like Ant-Man before and after he hits the "become giant" button.
