Jalen Hurts will be at Bama for a lot of years, and he's going to get most of the carries. The current Bama is nothing like the Bama of the past 8-10 years, so I would be amazed at the top backs choosing the Tide.

Bro... you have Bama fans committing murder by shooting a fellow Bama fan in the fricking Face over a football game.
Somehow I think one is much more likely to get in shot just about anywhere in LA than AL.

Have you watched Najee run? Hurts can run but Najee is on a different level. If he sticks then he will get more than enough carries.

Same reason we kept getting great WRs when weren't considered a passing team. They want to wear a NC ring the rest of their life. And like other posters said Hurts can not be our RB for 2-3 more years. He won't last.

I hate Alabama as much as the next guy but this is just a dumb question... The better question is why would any big time RB choose LSU after watching LF accomplish nothing of real note in 3 seasons...

n excellent post! Alabama has put at least 1 RB (2 last year) in the NFL every year since Saban arrived, with 2 taking a Heisman with them when they left. Couple that with annually one of the best Olines in the country and a powerhouse team known for their run game you should start to get a clue.

So they don't have to play against our defense and have their draft stock go through the floor when they can't gain more than 49 yards

In a rebuilding year for the RB corps, Burton Burns does it again. Even with the added dynamic of a running QB, three Alabama RBs will finish with 500 yards or more. Harris will top 1000. Should be even better in 2017 with a veteran OL, only replacing Cam Robinson. Add Najee Harris to the mix. And BJ Emmons back from injury.
