Dude. He's going to go play for the reigning SB champs under Bruce Arians in a very winnable division and the GOAT running a very talented offense that can give you early leads to protect right next to some of the best beaches in the country. Just a shame that it's a city full of beautiful women and amazing restaurants.

Aren't they pretty deep though? I bet having a few successful auburn players helped them with taking a chance.....funny how that works huh? Getting guys to the league benefits EVERYBODY!

Correct! They have a solid starting group of LBs but the depth isn't great and a few guys are older/gonna be expensive in a year or two. Britt can let edge rushing LBs catch some breath and be a run thumper. Really like the fit for him and Dean/Davis thriving there definitely helped KJ get the benefit of the doubt. It think JF3 is there too.

i have a friend in confederate railroad and they would do a charlie daniels benefit every year for a long time in tampa. my friend says he travels all over the country on tours and tampa is his number one fun spot.

but anyway i thought people said kj was too slow? does anyone know it that is accurate?

So, those wouldn't be players developed by Malzahn - would they? Whoops that's right, his ASSISTANTS get the success stories. 😉

As well they should. Assistant coaches get credit for a players development and individual successes and Head coaches get credit for Team wins and losses.

Malzahn developed Britt????? You have to be kidding me.

Yeah if you are able to convince yourself that Gus coached up the corners then there's no need for you to talk to anyone on this forum. You're on a whole nother level of brain power that only drugs and alcohol can allow you to reach!

That dude chimes in with a silly hot take like that every once in a while and then disappears again. I doubt you'll ever get a real conversation.

Only a stat idiot would say that Britt was too slow to play in the NFL. No guarantee the guy will be a 10 year starter or anything but we watched this guy lead our defense for 2 years. Anyone who said he could not play in the NFL did not watch enough of him play in the SEC. Plus he is a true MLB and speed is not terribly important at that position. Quick reaction times and a nose for the football is far more important at that spot.
