Found this article and thought I would share. Guy has had a hell of a career and has stayed grounded. Nice to see:

It's crazy that Butch Jones didn't play him more.

Any idea why he left Alabama?

From my recollection it was just a matter of coming into a stacked running back room. He was in the same class with Derrick Henry, Altee Tenpenny, and Tyren Jones. They were additions to a room that already had TJ Yeldon and Kenyan Drake.
He wanted to be a featured back and made the perfect decision for himself and his future by going JUCO then going to Tennessee where he was featured.

His great talent was mostly wasted at Tennessee!

Probably worked to his advantage in the long run and likely the reason he has had a long career in the NFL

Exactly what I was going to say. Did him a favor when Butch didn't play him like he should have and then gets to the NFL and lights it up. Good for him.
