With six Crimson Tide defensive backs chosen in the NFL Draft in the last four years, Alabama has earned a reputation as arguably the nation's top producer of talent in the secondary.
Nick Saban and his staff have made defensive back a major position of priority on the recruiting trail every year at Alabama and the Class of 2013 figures to be no different, according to BamaOnline recruiting analyst Tim Watts.

The Tide staff has cast a wide net when it comes to defensive backs, targeting prospects like cornerbacks Maurice Smith from Sugar Land, Texas and Kendall Fuller from Olney, Maryland, both of whom list Alabama among their favorites, and while recruiting outside the state holds a greater risk of failure, Saban and his staff appear to have plenty of confidence in their ability to recruit any defensive back prospect in the nation.

Ya think?

We recruit well but we also coach those guys up once we get them on campus. Oh yeah, CNS is their position coach.

I wonder where they stand with linebackers

I wonder where they stand with linebackers

Outstanding point. I would bet they are in the top 3 of colleges in producing NFL-caliber LB's. Plus, we do pretty good with running backs, too.

Good points.  Bama also is doing well with LBs and RBs.   However, when you get a backup corner like Marquis Johnson drafted, that says something about the respect NFL coaches have for Saban's teaching (although drafting MJ was questionable.)  Speaking of Marquis Johnson, rumor has it that he has joined the NO Saints.
