Saban said Rashad is the smartest defensive football player he's ever coached.
He said he understood his defense as well as any defensive coach on the staff. In fact, he said Rashad almost knew his 3-4 defense as well as he (Saban) did.
He is not a great, elite athlete but he's a good athlete and he has all the intangibles a player could ever want and he is an extremely hard worker.
I would love to end up with him, but I bet with Saban's connections to Belichik that the Pats target him and he ends up with Belichik and the Pats.
