They have not had an opportunity to prove it yet, but this is a pivotal season for Alabama’s wide receiver room.
JaMarcus Shephard, the Crimson Tide’s wide receivers coach, knows what he has. He put three playmakers in the National Football League from Washington, including a first-round pick in Rome Odunze. Shephard brings big energy to Alabama, yet the Tide’s receiver room has something that will make it very successful in the fall. Nick Sheridan, Alabama’s offensive coordinator, spoke to the media after Wednesday’s practice. He identified the most significant asset this group has heading into the season.
