He's always been underestimated.

Even though he was a five star player coming out of high school, he was listed as an Athlete by several recruiting services. There were a number of people wondering if he could be a RB in college due to his size. There were many Alabama fans who thought Saban would move him to linebacker even though he was told he could come in and compete at running back.

It’s a devalued position and he doesn’t catch passes. he also didn’t do much until the end of his 3rd year. He’s been great since but much more in line with a 2nd round or later pick.
