As we wrote last week, given the changes in Alabama’s defense over the years and a distinctly different era of football, trying to take a shot at the moving target of position-by-position comparisons is a folly.
So, instead we’re breaking down the front seven into three categories:
- Pass Rushers
- Pass Defenders
- Run Defenders
Last week, we covered a few players who were not fully appreciated for their ability to affect the passing game from the front seven. Today, we’re going to look at a trio of players who were dominant run defenders, if not quite ever earning the recognition they deserved.
