Any players you’re looking forward to playing against?
“Kind of everybody. Reggie Ragland and I have been doing a
lot of talking. We see them twice in Kansas City.”
What players still at Alabama should collectors watch
out for the next couple years?
“One is too hard! One that’s not obvious is Brian Robinson,
running back number 24. He’s the next one. Th e dude is 230
and runs a legit 4.4. He doesn’t get as much attention as he should,
but he will have a breakout year.”
Would you rather rush for a lot of yards or a lot of
touchdowns?
“I would rather have yards than touchdowns. Yards are more
production, but with touchdowns you could have just been close to
the endzone.”
