    Saban: Players lose by entering NFL draft early

    Fair Enough. I actually named 4 and you counted 3, so I have to admit, you got me on the math thing. So go ahead and list your 10-20 players where it worked out "horrendously" and "failed miserably" I'll bet you 2 things: 1) You can't even name 10 2) I'll name 1 that made the correct...

    Saban: Players lose by entering NFL draft early
