Jaylen Moody waited his time, but has his moment come to be a starter on Alabama’s defense?

Nick Saban highlighted Brian Robinson throughout Alabama’s Pro Day.

He spoke about how Robinson’s story is one that people greatly respect. The Tuscaloosa native waited behind several running backs for his opportunity and never complained. He pushed himself, stayed prepared, overcame adversity, and took advantage of the moment in 2021. Robinson created a second to third-round draft value because of his patience.

Jaylen Moody is in the same situation. As a former three-star recruit, he arrived in the 2018 class from South Carolina.

The 6-foot-2, 225-pounder made plays when an opportunity came. He has played 40+ games across four seasons.
