It is a cliché which is nonetheless true that Alabama football is not about individual accomplishments. Individual honors and records are worthy rewards but for the Alabama Crimson Tide program, championships are held if far higher esteem.
Teams, not individuals win championships. Last season, Alabama football won a SEC Championship but failed to win the championship that matters most. In the minds of many, that means individual honors from last season are diminished, almost tainted.
The 2019 season could be filled with many more individual awards for Crimson Tide players. Awards watch lists are filled with Alabama football players.
