Former UA stars Mack Wilson, Isaiah Buggs with statement games in NFL Preseason

Almost every talent that Nick Saban places in the National Football League, from the University of Alabama, becomes successful.

Two of the latest standouts were doubted going into the NFL Draft process; however, both players quickly had critics apologizing in the opening of preseason action.

Lyndell “Mack” Wilson and Isaiah Buggs should have been selected much higher than what they were, but the duo is making the most out of it. Wilson, a native of Montgomery, Ala., arrived at the Crimson Tide’s program as a five-star in 2016. The talented inside linebacker entered with huge expectations and aside from last season, Tide fans felt as though he lived up to them.
