Ever wondered who the funniest player is on Alabama’s football team? Or the fastest? Or the strongest? At the Crimson Tide’s Media Day sessions in Atlanta and Tampa, I asked several players those questions, and they provided some hilarious answers.

Now that the dust has settled around Alabama’s 2016 season, the time for reflection has arrived, and what better way to do that than with quirky superlatives from the players?

Below is a full breakdown of those three superlatives, as well as the teammates they would rather avoid on the field, from the vantage points of eight different Alabama players.

QUESTION: Who is the funniest player on the team?

Freshman CB Shyheim Carter: “Tony Brown. I’ve been around Tony in meeting rooms, on the field, everywhere. He’s like, by far, the funniest person on the team.”

Freshman LB Ben Davis: “I gotta say Tim Williams, to me. He’s gotta be the funniest guy. Just some of the stuff he says, and it’ll come at some of the most awkward times. He just says some funny staff. That dude’s hilarious.”

Freshman TE Miller Forristall: “Brandon Greene. I mean he’s a goof, he’s this big dude, but at the same he’s really, really funny, down to Earth. (Hale Hentges interjects: That’s cold. I’m second, I’m second.) Hale Hentges, by association, is in second.”

Junior DE Da'Shawn Hand: “Ryan Anderson, hands down. Hands down. Ryan Anderson is, by far, the funniest man alive. Man, you’ve just gotta know him.”

Freshman DB Jared Mayden: “I’ll give you a top three: Tim Williams’ funny, Tony’s funny and then Shyheim Carter, he’s funny, too. Tim and Tony go hand-in-hand with No. 1. It just depends on whoever can get on who the most that day, that’s who gets No. 1. Because they’re always getting on each other.”

Junior LB Christian Miller: “We’ve got a lot of guys that are funny, but either Brandon Greene or Tony Brown’s pretty funny, even though Tony tries a little hard sometimes. I think those two guys are really funny, Brandon Greene and Tony Brown.”

Redshirt junior WR ArDarius Stewart: “It would probably be between Ryan Anderson and probably Tony.”

Freshman OT Jonah Williams: “I think Brandon Greene’s hilarious. Brandon’s hilarious, Rashaan (Evans) and Damien (Harris) together always cracks me up, I think Ross (Pierschbacher) is really funny. He’s really dry. There’s a lot of good personalities on the team.”

Q: Who is the fastest player on the team?

Carter: “I have a top three that I think is fastest. Anthony Averett, Tony Brown, Robert Foster and that’s about it.”

Davis: “Definitely Anthony Averett.”

Hand: “Smooth, Anthony Averett, the corner. Hands down. But I think when it comes down to the end of the day, I think that I could beat him in a race, on a good day. They ain’t gonna admit it, but deep down, Da'Shawn Hand could beat them in a race, don’t worry about that.”

Mayden: “First off, I’m the fastest freshman. No matter what everybody says. I’ve raced Shyheim, all of them. I’m the fastest incoming freshman at every spot. And then at the corner, of the DBs, I don’t know. It might be Ant. But then again, Ant says he’s fast, but I’ve never seen him run, so I think it might be Tony. Tony and me (laughs). But I want to see them race.”

Miller: “Rob Foster, Anthony Averett for sure, too. I’ve never seen somebody run like Rob Foster, I promise you. I’ve never seen somebody run like that. He’s a freak.”

Stewart: “Probably Anthony Averett. Rob is too, but I think Ant got Rob. I think Ant would win that.”

Williams: “I might start a fight, but I think Minkah (Fitzpatrick) and Tony always kind of blow me away. Ronnie Harrison, Robert Foster. When we do summer conditioning, we’re the 110s and stuff like that, I’m holding it down for the linemen, but they’re just ‘Whoosh.’ It’s wild.”

Q: Who is the strongest player on the team?

Carter: “I think freshman Deonte Brown. Over the summer, he squatted 650 like it was nothing. Everybody was impressed.”

Davis: “As a freshman, D. Brown, he’s really strong. But for the whole team, I think it has to be either big Da'Ron Payne or Dalvin Tomlinson, probably one of those two.”

Hand: “Deonte Brown and Da'Ron Payne. We call him ‘Cornbread,’ Deonte Brown.”

Forristall: “Da'Ron Payne. That’s a big dude, a freak.”

Mayden: “That’s probably Ronnie (Harrison). But when Ronnie was a freshman, I’m lifting more than he was, so he really don’t have much longer to have that title. Right now it’s Ronnie or Hootie (Jones). Hootie’s strong, too. ‘Cornbread.’ Freshman Deonte Brown, he squatted in the summer 500-600 pounds. He threw it up there, and he was doing it with ease. He didn’t even struggle coming down with it. Cornbread, he’s probably the strongest person on the team.”

Miller: “Da'Ron Payne, (Bradley) Bozeman, especially in the weight room. Bozeman can lift the whole gym. We’ve got a bunch of those guys, too. But yeah, Payne and Bozeman are really some powerhouses.”

Stewart: “Probably Bradley Bozeman.”

Williams: “Dalvin has the strongest hands of anyone. If I get a yard of movement on Dalvin, I’m like, ‘Yes! Let’s go!’ I’m happy because he’ll fire off so quick and hit you in the chest, and you’re just like, ‘OK.’ Dalvin’s got the strongest hands. I think DaRon’s one of the strongest people I’ve seen. Boze has a crazy bench, so that’s fun. I lift in the station, his station a lot, so it’s a good challenge to see Boze get on there and bench 500 like three times. There some strong guys on this team. It’s wild.”

Q: And finally, after a long day of practice, who is the one guy you don’t want to see -- in a real or hypothetical situation -- on the other side of the line of scrimmage from you?

Carter: “Jonathan Allen. The way he practices, he’s always going 110 percent, no matter what.”

Davis: “You probably don’t wanna deal with big Ryan Anderson.”

Forristall: “Every day you go to work with Ryan and Tim (Williams), they bring it. Every day. But they make you better.”

Mayden: “I don’t wanna say I don’t wanna guard nobody, but after a long day of practice when you go over there for team, (ArDarius Stewart) -- because Stew’s really wild. Stew’s always going hard, so definitely Stew. He’s really physical. Some people don’t notice it, but it’s hard taking Stew down. And then he really blocks hard out of all the receivers. He probably blocks the hardest. He could probably play safety, if he wanted.”

Miller: “If I was on offense, I would say Ryan, as well. The man’s got some issues, man. He’s like a big brother to me, and thank God he is because that’s a violent guy. That’s a real violent guy.”

Stewart: “Probably Reuben (Foster).”

Williams: “I don’t wanna sound cocky, but I don’t get intimidated.”
