"Lee Roy Jordan likes what he sees in Alabama's defense"

[Chechem]

If ever there was a college football player who understood defensive football -- what it takes, what makes it special, how to play it -- it's former Alabama All-America linebacker Lee Roy Jordan. The player of whom former football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant once said, "If they stay inside the white lines, Lee Roy will get 'em," sees a lot he likes about Alabama's 2011 defense.

So true. 

Boy, who would have known that Lee Roy would become such an ambassador of Alabama football?  He has been a steady, rock-solid supporter of college football (generally) and Alabama football (specifically) for many years now.

A few years back I would help the RISE Program with some of the University functions where I would see a lot of the players from the past and Leroy was my favorite, he always had a smile and wasn't afraid to speak to you.

Never seen his ranch, but I knew he had one.  He's one of the few former players of the 60s era that I haven't met.  But I'd enjoy a handshake and a chat.
