Besides Dareus name one Mama Dlineman that has produced in the NFL.


Hmm. Not really sure what you're getting at, or how any past players from bama have an impact on the kind of player that Allen is. To humor you though, Mark Anderson and Wallace Gilberry had/have productive careers. You've already mentioned Dareus. Upshaw started for several years in Baltimore, including on a defense that won a Super Bowl (actually forced a fumble in that game). He plays a lot in Atlanta now. Robinson and Reed are playing pretty well for rookies. Quinton Dial starts in San Fran and just signed a new contract. That's just guys from the last decade off the top of my head. I'm sure you're not biased against Alabama or anything, I'm just answering your question

I was being sarcastic like I said in my previous post. I'll play along though, none of the guys that you've mentioned have been world beaters as pros. Dareus had a nice start, but has failed to produce as of late. He really looks below his billing when Kyle Williams has been hurt as well. The rookies can't be judged right now so Reed and Robinson get passes. Upshaw was never a true down lineman school or pros, so he's disqualified. Dial was a spot holder until the 49ers top draft pick caught on to the defensive scheme and Gilberry/Anderson...really??? I'd take Allen all day, Lacey, Julio, and Cooper are the best of show so far for Alabama pros. I'd also take either one of those guys on my team in a heartbeat.
