Alabama football coach Nick Saban said safety Robby Green has been the surprise of spring practice for the defense.
Green is a 6-foot, 180-pound sophomore from New Orleans who has moved from backup cornerback into the picture at free safety since the end of last season.
Saban, who spoke to reporters on Thursday, also listed the development of the receiver corps and the progress made by quarterback Greg McElroy were the biggest surprises this spring on offense. The coach also added that McElroy is not a surprise to him, “but a surprise to some.“
