TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — The wrestling matches in the Alabama locker room are finished now. There is no point to them anymore. There's no pinning Dalvin Tomlinson down.
"I had him once at first," said Alabama defensive lineman Jonathan Allen, who might be the best and toughest college football player in the country. "But then..."
Allen said that in front of Tomlinson recently in the football offices at Alabama in a private moment with Bleacher Report.
"No," Tomlinson said, staring back sarcastically at Allen, his teammate on the Alabama defensive line. "He didn't have me."
In five years at Alabama, Tomlinson has blended in facelessly on what now might be the best line in college footbal history.
