A one-paragraph summary of what every college program aspires to:
Alabama has become the model by which all programs strive to emulate. Unfortunately for the rest of the country, they lack the resources that Nick Saban has at his disposal. Couple that with the ideal recruiting footprint, and you get back-to-back trips to the College Football Playoff. The pro personnel model, including an emphasis on four key areas (QB, OL, DL, secondary), has created a finely tuned machine for evaluation, player development and ultimately production.
That might explain why Alabama leads all schools in the number of former players named to this year’s NFL Pro Bowl, with five. The funny thing is that Georgia, non-Process Georgia, is second on the list, with four.
Imagine the possibilities if Smart is successful in transferring what he’s learned in Tuscaloosa to Athens.
