Title: "Dee Milliner ready to be a defensive leader" Post by: Chechem on August 13, 2012, 06:20:19 AM http://alabama.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1395932
Quote It wasn't that long ago Dee Milliner was looking to his more experienced teammates for help. This season the junior cornerback will be one of the leaders in the Alabama secondary. Milliner has played in all 26 games his freshman and sophomore seasons, compiling a career total of 82 tackles, four interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown against Auburn in 2011, and 16 pass breakups. The Tuscaloosa News spoke with Milliner to ask about taking leadership over a new-look secondary and how the team is coming along. Q: How is the team looking early on during camp? A: We're looking great. We've got a lot of guys competing, stepping up and coming out on the right foot. We lost a lot of guys (Mark) Barron, DQ (DeQuan Menzie), Dre (Kirkpatrick). We always lose great players every year to go to the NFL. You've got to get people behind them to step up and do their jobs.... |
