Roman "The Prophet" Harper

Here's a fun fact for those of you who don't follow Bama football or know alot about Roman Harper.

While in high school, Roman was so good at reading and reacting to plays that it appeared as if he either knew what play was coming or he predicted what was coming. By all accounts it was uncanny how quickly he could diagnose a play and then proceed to blow it up. After seeing this unreal ability day after day, Roman's defensive coach started calling him "The Prophet" because he seemed to be prophesying the offensive plays.

The nickname stuck all through high school, then college and soon you'll be hearing commentators telling that same story someday when Roman is reading and blowing up plays on TV. Notice I said "when" instead of "if", I'm not on Roman's level in terms of predictions, but this is a no brainer, Roman Harper WILL BE THE DEAL in the NFL.
