Nick Saban Compares 2016 RB Robert Washington To Marshawn Lynch

2016 four-star RB recruit Robert Washington has quite an impressive skill set. He’s got a top 6 of TCU, Alabama, Michigan, UNC, Florida, Syracuse and Alabama head coach Nick Saban had some high praise for the young man.

From Bleacher Report:

“[Alabama head coach] Nick Saban told me I remind him of ‘Beast Mode’ [Marshawn Lynch], and that’s an honor coming from him,” he said. “He’s a legendary coach who has had a ton of success with running backs. Guys like Trent Richardson, Mark Ingram, Eddie Lacy, T.J. Yeldon, Derrick Henry and others have done big things with him. So for Saban to compare me to Lynch—probably the best running back in the NFL right now—is very special.”

Those would be some lofty shoes to fill.
