Question: Which Juniors will leave early for the NFL? Just Henry and A'Shawn So Far

[BamaMoon]

For DH the decision must have been easy given his production this year, wear and tear on the body, and the short life of NFL running backs. However, I can't remember a more recent year when we had a bigger drop off in RB due to attrition, graduation, declaring early, etc. The potential is certainly there, it's just unproven. We certainly need a strong running game to be successful.

While it's more of a question mark, I think we'll be OK. I expect Scarborough and Harris to improve greatly and be a reliable combination. It does feel a little weird, though, as the past 5-6 years, we've always essentially had known entities coming back.

I'm just now watching the Under Armor Game and BJ Emmons is showing some great potential. Color guy on the broadcast compared him to Harris, but said he has much better hands. Wouldn't be surprised to see him push for some PT next year if he gets the pass blocking skills down.

All signs point to Foster returning. Allen and Howard, I believe, are the real ? marks at this point - especially Allen. I figured he'd be for sure gone.

Foster would probably come back, I don't see Allen coming back unless there is indication he isn't high on scouts radar. OJ is a big question mark because Kiper is saying his numbers don't matter, and he would most likely be a second rounder.

Read on BOL Allen coming back per his twitter

Allen tweeted this.

Defense might not take a step back next year at all. May be a tad softer against the run but should be much more athletic with Tim Williams and Rashaan Evans playing every down.

Bruce Feldman @BruceFeldmanCFB
#Alabama DL Jonathan Allen, the guy who led the Tide in sacks (12) & TFLs (14.5) announces he's NOT jumping to NFL & will be back in 2016.


HUGE!!!

If the reports of Allen, Foster and Howard returning are true:


Christmas done come early!!!!

 

[TideMom2Boys]

Having Howard and foster back would be huge too.

Crimsonforce is faster.

 

[CB4]

OJ, Allen, Howard, Williams and Jackson coming back...this is almost too good to be true!!!

 

[CrimsonForce]

SIAP - Alabama will return 41 of it's nation's best 52 sacks this past season, including top 4 sack leaders.

 

[RTR2u]

These are HUGE if all accurate!!!

 

[TideMom2Boys]

All these leaders coming back...plus the younger guys now maturing more. Wow, the defense will be nasty.

 

[CrimsonForce]

Alabama looking strong for preseason #1 ranking. Clemson has 8 or 9 juniors leaving and Alabama only has 2..

It's scary to think that our defense may be even more versatile and athletic than it was last year.. Wow
