The definitive Nick Saban Linebacker

Before the NFL drama, Reuben Foster was the heart of the "Process" in Tuscaloosa. 🎯 As a senior in 2016, he won the Butkus Award (given to the nation's best LB) and was a Unanimous All-American.

His highlight reel at Alabama is still used as a clinic for "sideline-to-sideline" range. He finished his college career with 222 tackles and 8 sacks, famously leading the Crimson Tide to a National Championship in 2015. He was the rare defender who could stop a 230-lb running back in its tracks while also being fluid enough to cover slot receivers.

Drop a "🐘" if Reuben Foster is the best LB of the Saban era! 👇
