Coffee Going Pro Will Help Tide

Glen Coffee announced today that he will be foregoing his senior season and will enter the NFL Draft. The decision came after Coffee put together the second best single season rushing in Alabama Football history. Many Alabama fans are upset that Coffee is going pro, but do not worry. Although I feel Coffee is not yet prepared for a transition into the pro game, it is best for the Tide which already was seeing a crowded backfield.

I feel Coffee's exit will strengthen the commitment of five star running back Trent Richardson. It is no secret that Richardson has the talent to come in and play immediately.

Coffee is expected to go in the mid to late rounds.
