Alabama completed its third practice of the spring on Wednesday afternoon and afterward, head coach Nick Saban addressed the media to field questions on his 2022 squad.
Coach Saban was asked about Georgia Tech running back transfer Jahmyr Gibbs and the head coach said the following.
“He has really been a very good addition to our team. He’s got great speed. He’s really a good receiver, good third-down back. He’s got great vision. He’s got really good burst out of a cut. I’m really, really impressed with what he’s been able to do. He’s smart. He picked up things. He’s an experienced player. He really does a good job of understanding what we’re trying to do and how we’re doing it, and that’s what experienced players can do. He’s done a really, really good job.”
Coach Saban also offered some high praise for true freshman early enrollee Kendrick Law.
“He’s done a nice job. He’s a guy that could play multiple positions if that creates value, in your opinion. But he has done a really good job at receiver. He’s got some speed, he’s got some size, he runs good routes, he’s got really good hands. He’s picked up on things and sort of has the right mindset to be able to deal with some of the frustrations young players go through when they’re trying to learn a system and are making more mistakes than they’re used to probably. He plays through it, and he’s made a lot of plays, and I think he’s a guy who might be able to help us if he continues to develop.”
Alabama will have today off before returning to practice on back-to-back days on Friday and Saturday.
That is going to put an end to our Thursday edition of Alabama Morning Drive. I hope everyone has a safe and happy day. Make sure to stay tuned to Roll Tide Wire for all the latest on the Alabama Crimson Tide!
