Alabama defensive line may have lost depth, but not size

On Wednesday night, Raekwon Davis sent out a picture on social media that told a story no amount of words strung together could possibly match.

The true freshman defensive lineman from Meridian, Miss., tweeted out a picture of himself standing next to sophomore defensive tackle Da’Ron Payne and senior defensive end Dalvin Tomlinson. He captioned the picture with “Don’t run the ball up the middle,” an unsolicited piece of advice to opposing offenses.

What stood out about the picture was not the confidence expressed in the caption, rather that in the photo Davis, a 6-foot-7 mammoth lineman, successfully made the 6-2, 319-pound Payne and the 6-3, 307-pound Tomlinson appear normal-sized.
