Idk if that is true. OJ Howard in a different offense could have been a 1k yard TE and probably would have helped his draft stock. Saban doesnt venture too far from his boring offense. Now Bama does get a lot of eyes so they get a lot of player drafted and about half of them over-drafted. 1 Quote Link to comment

Hard to argue he wasn't utilized properly or that Saban's offense hurt his stock- how much higher could it go? Being over-drafted isn't really a downside for the player, and whether you think you "fit" or not if Bama says they want you that means something. 3 Quote Link to comment

And Howard was the #19 overall pick in 2017. Only 6 TE's have been drafted higher than that in the last 20 years 3 Quote Link to comment

I was making both sides of the argument. Pretty obviously i thought. It pretty universally agreed that he was under utilized at Bama. It worked out for him because he is a physical freak, but the point is Saban(or more accurately maybe Kiffin at the time) didnt change his offense for a single player. Of course if he had to he could do that probably, although you dont know until he does it, but if he is winning with huge backs pounding the ball then why would he switch it up. Quote Link to comment
Husker in WI Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Gotcha. I do think plenty of players don't care if the offense isn't a perfect fit for them though. Instead of looking at it as they won't use him to the best of my abilities, it's however they use him he's going to win a lot. And it will probably prepare him better for the NFL, although that's a little more strength and conditioning than scheme IMO. Quote Link to comment
