We’ve gotten used to seeing good defensive prospects coming out of Alabama, and 2024 is no different. That’s been great news for the NFL, but a likely source of frustration for some of the prospects themselves.
Edge defender Chris Braswell is a great example of how Alabama’s powerhouse recruiting can work against some of the players. Braswell has played in 40 games over the course of his career, but was a special teams player and rotational defender until 2023. The senior has appeared on Bruce Feldmans’ Freaks List in each of the last two years, but has been overshadowed by Alabama’s depth at the position.
