TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — There were times that they looked like they could be triplets.

Jonathan Allen, Jarran Reed and A’Shawn Robinson were literally the front line of the Crimson Tide’s stout defense that led the nation in stopping the run and sacks. The latter two players especially drew attention and praise as they capped off college careers that will likely make them first-round NFL draft selections.
