Good article on Marcell Dareus.
Quote:
He is rated the No. 1 player in the draft by Scouts Inc. His name is listed at the top of ESPN guru Mel Kiper Jr.'s so-called big board. Kiper predicts the agile 319-pound lineman will be picked second by the Denver Broncos after the Carolina Panthers take Auburn quarterback Cam Newton No. 1. Some experts believe the Panthers will make Dareus the first Birmingham-area player since Bo Jackson (McAdory High School/Auburn University) to be the No. 1 pick.
Linebacker Cornelius Bennett (Ensley High) was the second player picked in the 1987 draft, the highest a Crimson Tide player has been drafted. Alabama tackle Chris Samuels was the third player picked in 2000.
Dareus forever will be remembered for knocking out Texas quarterback Colt McCoy with a hard, early hit, spinning on an interception return for a touchdown and earning the defensive MVP award in the 2010 BCS national championship game. In January, he declared that he would skip his senior season at Alabama.
