Alabama football has a stacked running back room in 2021
In the past, Alabama football has handled running backs in a few different ways. If one player is good enough to win the Heisman, they receive the lion’s share of carries. We saw this with Najee Harris and Derrick Henry. In most seasons, Alabama has a two-headed monster. Damien Harris and Josh Jacobs tore apart 2018 defenses, and T.J. Yeldon was elite behind Eddie Lacy.
This season, Alabama simply has too much depth for either strategy to prevail.
