Reminds me of a guy we had a few years back that was never given a real chance: Derrick Pope. Guy was undersized, but had vision and a knack for forcing fumbles - always around the ball. He only got a shot at playing time when Zack Thomas was out, though. He didn't fit Saban's rigid physical archetype for size so he got shunted off to the side. Saban did the same thing with Yeremiah Bell. Just goes to show there are good players waiting in the wings that, for one reason or another, don't make it with a particular team.
