Every year there are players in college football that stand out above the rest for one reason or another. Usually, they are the Heisman candidates or top NFL prospects. Sometimes though, there are players that transcend the game and become legends.
Those types of players don’t come around every year. Sure, there are campus legends that are made about every year, but I’m talking about kids who become legends of the game not just their school. Guys like Tim Tebow, Herschel Walker, and Ernie Davis.
I believe we had the pleasure of seeing another legend of the game play for Alabama football over the past three seasons.
