Leadership was on Alabama’s roster in 2021, but the Crimson Tide did not have enough consistency in getting the message out.
Nick Saban saw a lack of players buying into the standard of excellence, and it caused the Tide to fall short in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game. Two players became established leaders a season ago, but now the group has expanded to five names for the fall. Alabama’s Fourth Quarter Program brought guys to the forefront as leaders.
The six national championship teams under Saban had leaders on offense and defense. The best teams are the ones led by players.
