TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Maybe the hardest thing to do when putting together something like The Saban 250, ranking the players who made the biggest impact during the
greatest dynasty college football has ever seen, is weighing a career against an outstanding season or performance.

They kept piling up.“You have to have that mindset and be mentally strong.” • Had 93 rushing yards and two touchdowns in first half of 2016 title game against Clemson before suffering a leg injury• Third-round selection in 2020 NFL Draft
• After transferring from Florida State, was 301-for-452 for 3,513 yards, with 25 touchdowns and eight interceptions, over two seasons. His passer rating at Alabama was 146.6• Third-round selection in 2017 NFL Draft His quarterback had failed to execute a quick snap before the Crimson Tide could bring in its short-yardage package and Nick Saban was able to call time out to not only make the desired personnel changes but also to remind his players that the Volunteers liked to go with a quarterback sneak in that situation.
“That Tennessee play, I knew they were going to try and sneak the ball. They were going to try a hard count to jump us offside, I could see that they were going to try it. This was Tennessee, the biggest rival for the state. To make that stand that was just something to be proud of. I just tried to go back there and create a new line of scrimmage.”
