Washington Redskins rookie Shaun Dion Hamilton has starting talent

For many college football programs, greatness is the exception. Lost in the mix of student-athletes who play for a time before moving on to a different walk of life, only a select few display the talent and the relentless passion to play the game professionally. Only a few are truly great.

And then there are programs like Alabama. Where greatness is the expectation.

In this regard, it makes sense that the Washington Redskins have established a pipeline with the Alabama Crimson Tide. More often than not, the products of the Crimson Tide exemplify the blueprint of a successful football player.
