It certainly isn't Trent Richardson...running back for the Caudillos de Chihuahua of Fútbol Americano de México.

Dude got so spoiled and used to following his linemen at Alabama, he couldn't find a hole if you rolled it in flour.



I think most people wonder, could I have been an All-American at Alabama during Trent Richardson's time there?

Unfortunately, due to lack of a Hall-of-Very Good level supporting QB, he will be on the Adrien Peterson trajectory of never getting a Super Bowl appearance, let alone a win.

In a league of the top 0.1% of top 10% of athletes players like Henry or Donald are just insane.

Hard to fathom when players in the league just humbly admit those guys are just different.

I guess so until Gibbs gets drafted. Ingram was more fundamentally sound though.

He gets forgotten, doesn't he?

Alexander set numerous NFL and Seattle Seahawks' franchise records and was named the NFL MVP in 2005.

He was also named to the NFL's 2000 All-Decade team,and ranks #8 all time in NFL History for Rushing Touchdowns (100).

Alexander was the first athlete featured on the cover of both the NCAA Football and Madden NFL series of video games.

Alexander was a beast for Seattle. Also, had some great OL with Steve Hutchinson and Walter Jones for a while as well

Since A.J. Brown was traded to the Eagles, Henry has become almost 50% of that team’s offensive production and they are 5-3 (almost 6-2).

Several other big schools did, too. UGA, FSU, and a few others IIRC.


One of the main reasons he signed with us is bc Saban promised him the opportunity to compete at RB.
