Alabama Football 2022 Fall Preview: The Outside Linebackers are here to destroy things

I did our spring preview of the terrifyingly good outside linebacker group back in March, and since absolutely nothing has changed in the rotation, the text below is copied straight from that piece.

Nick Saban has had some outstanding position groups through the years, led by the Rydeouts group of four first round wide receivers. This group of outside linebackers, however, may well take the cake as the best room of the Saban era. Alabama returns both starters at the position, both of whom are likely to be drafted very high in the first round when each is eligible, one of whom just won the Nagurski award as the best defensive player in the nation.
