Alabama Football Throwback Thursday: Dangerous Derrick Thomas

Alabama Football’s Jonathan Allen had 28 sacks in his four year career with the Tide. Reuben Foster had 5 sacks this year and will join Allen in the first round of the NFL draft this April. These two crimson monsters and their dominating stats will lead a class that is likely to break the record for the most players taken from a single team in the first round of the NFL draft.

Think about that – then think about this.

The man, the myth, the #55 Crimson Tide sack machine Derrick Thomas still holds every Alabama Football sack record with 52 during his time with the Tide from 1985-1988.
