Rewatched it and that Alabama defense is just scary.

There was one instance where Courtney Upshaw literally picked Jordan Jefferson up off the turf like he was nothing after the play. Upshaw just grabbed him by the side of his arms and set him up on his feet (and Jefferson is a pretty big guy). Upshaw is just a monster. Good size, great strength, long arms, violent hands and nice burst. He’ll make plays at the next level.

And Dont’a Hightower is crazy physical. Hightower is really slow but man, he was just laying people out all over the field and it didn’t matter if you had the ball or not. He’ll fit in perfectly with the 49ers, Steelers or Ravens culture. I’d love to have a guy with Hightower’s demeanor but he just isn’t a fit for the 4-3 defense no matter how much I like him. He’s pretty fluid and he can avoid blocks but he’ll really struggle to get to the perimeter against NFL speed and blocking. Really nice 3-4 LB though.

Dre Kirkpatrick is swagger. That guy has an ora about him that is just fun and intimidating for opponents. I didn’t like him a ton heading into the year but he really improved. He suddenly started hitting like a safety out on the perimeter. And he will let you know that he hit you. What really stood out to me was when he was screaming at Jordan Jefferson when JJ hurt Mosley, he is so passionate. He’ll make a hell of a Tampa 2 corner. He is a bit leggy and he doesn’t transition well but if you put him in a zone scheme, he’ll be a star. He is SO physical, probably the most physical corner I remember seeing. He’ll be an emotional leader for a defense.

Josh Chapman isn’t getting any press but the guy dominates the line of scrimmage in the run game. He’s a Casey Hampton type guy.

Robert Lester to me is a guy who is going to be a nice NFL player. He has all the potential in the world. He has flashed the ability to support the run. He has natural range on the back half of the defense and he comes really close to making a lot of plays. He can play free safety or strong safety in the NFL and he really does everything well.

Mark Barron is basically Adrian Wilson 2.0

And then guys like Menzie and Harris are going to have their roles in the NFL too.

And LSU had a bunch of freaks too. Mingo, Montgomery and Brockers are all forces on the defensive line. Claiborne is the next shutdown corner. And Eric Reid is a freak at safety with his combination of size, speed and hitting ability.
