12/30/2007. Independence Stadium (Shreveport, LA). The 32nd annual Independence Bowl. The Alabama Crimson Tide (6-6) vs. the Colorado Buffaloes (6-6). Broadcast on ESPN.
true, while I think ingram and richardson were better in 2009, I thought he was our most talented back in 2008, mark was a freshman not quite polished enough and coffee was good but not as shifty, injuries are what slowed his career down, but thankfully because of that catch against auburn he will always be remembered.
He had some major issues with alcohol coming out of high school that plagued him even during his time in Tuscaloosa, including an off-season stint in a rehab facility. He was also undersized, wasn’t quite fast enough, and showed an ability to not listen to coaches. Think of all of the great players that came through Alabama that didn’t even make a CFL roster. That’s what makes the Tide’s draftee list even more impressive.
If I remember correctly all of his problems were behavioral.....meaning that he would not be a player Saban would have recruited if he had been there at the time he came out of high school. But yeah no NFL GM wanted to take a chance on a guy with so many issues like that.
