Devonta would be a keep if he would move positions.


It's interesting to think if that could be the reason he's entering the portal. Maybe a move to defense was discussed?

Makes you wonder about guys like Trevon Diggs (Dallas Cowboys) who came into Alabama as a WR & Saban moved him to DB. He's now one of the best in the NFL, but what if the portal was around then? Would he have stayed at Alabama to play DB or left to go play WR somewhere else.

Edit: He actually played both ways for Bama in 2016? switched to DB full time in 2017.

Corey Webster.

Said he was really not happy about moving to CB at first but is forever grateful to Saban for convincing him to do so.

He’s actually been one of the worst CBs in the league. Don’t let those interceptions fool you.

We tried Lee out on defense. It didn’t really work out. He’s just a guy who never found a spot that realy fit him.

Honestly at 6’2” 215, with his build, I woukd Have liked to see him at RB. Great athleticism, good size, and would have been a great pass catching RB. I’m surprised we don’t see more WR to RB moves given how big some of the WRs are these days and how many passes RBs are getting in modern offenses.
