Look at recent Bama WR's in the NFL and not only are they the best in CFB, they're the best in the NFL.

Calvin Ridley, Julio Jones, Amari Cooper, and Jerry Jeudy come to mind.

He's not EVER going to have that kind of separation in the NFL, not all over the field. We've seen dozens of QB's come and go in this league that came from similar CFB backgrounds that simply couldn't make the adjustment.

It’s the main reason I don’t love stud QBs coming out of powerhouse programs. Give me the guy from a second- or third-tier Power 5 school who had to make up for talent deficiencies any day.

Seriously. Of the great current NFL QBs, who went to a powerhouse?

Mahomes - nope

Rodgers - nope

Wilson - second-tier (Wisconsin) and third-tier (NC State)

Brady - went to a powerhouse but wasn’t the starter, and Michigan didn’t have the separation then that powerhouse programs do now from other teams

Watson a first true Yes. But he was part of Clemson becoming what it is now. His experience was a little different.

The list of guys who have been amazing in the NFL after QBing a dominant program is smaller than it seems.
