92-21
offense - 11 personnel set
qb - mac jones - tua and young both got heavy consideration, and after next season young might take over, but mac was so efficient. tua injuries put me off him. that's my 3 deep, though. mac, young, tua.
rb - najee harris - shaun alexander, ingram, trent, and henry all got major consideration, but imo, najee is best all around bama back ever. alexander and henry would fill out the 3 deep.
te - oj howard - fairly easy pick here.
wr - smitty - this is gonna be tough to narrow down to just 3 wr's. but smitty was best of them all, so he's #1.
wr - julio - most freakish and would have loved to see him in a modern style offense.
wr - waddle - needed an electric, shifty type to complement the big target and speed options. cooper, ridley, jeudy, david palmer, prothro, freddie milons, and antonio carter were all considered. to get a 2 deep, for 6 wr rotation, i'd go with 3 above, plus cooper, juedy, and palmer.
lt - chris samuels - lot of good players here, but samuels was probably the best from this time frame. back up would be jonah williams.
lg - chance warmack - best guard for bama ever maybe. backup evan mathis.
c - ryan kelley - had tough choice between him and either dickerson or caldwell. all were really good. but kelley did it over multiple seasons and maybe a bit of recency bias. those other 2 is pickem for backup, though i lean dickerson.
rg - barrett jones - probably the most decorated bama player ever, one of cfb top decorated players ever. dude had a ridiculous career. also provides a ton of versatility, being all sec at guard twice and center his sr year. also started at tackle one season. backup is mike johnson
rt - fluker - just a huge mauler that was good in pass pro too. backup andre smith.
defense - 3-4 base
de - john copeland - one of the bookend de's on the 92 team, copeland was consensus aa. backup is ashawn robinson.
dt - marcel dareus - dude was a freak up the middle. back up daron payne, with heavy rotation. gonna get really good pass rush up middle with those 2, and not much if any run stopping ability lost either.
de - jonathan allen - mix between dt/de, just could play. eric curry, the other half of the 92 bookends, is backup.
sam lb - hightower - underrated lb for bama fans, one of my favorites. back up, keith mccants.
mike lb - cj mosley - dude could take your head off and still cover the pass. back up rueben foster.
will lb - demeco ryans - one of the few bright spots from pre-saban 00's, guy was a stud. back up, rolando mclain.
jack lb - will anderson - easiest pick on the list. broke/set ncaa records last season, hopefully just adds to that this year. will go down as top 2-3 lb/de's in bama history, right next to derrick thomas (who just missed this list by couple years). back up saleem rasheed or derrick pope. or mack wilson.
cb - antonio langham - all world cb from 92 team. backup dre kirkpatrick.
fs - minkah - can play anywhere along back line, but fs was my fav position for him. back up george teague.
ss - roman harper - another rare bright spot pre-saban 00s. back up mark barron, hootie jones, or landon collins.
cb - dee milliner. could go with dre kirk here, but i like dee. backup marlon humphrey.
star - eddie jackson - when needing to go to a nickle d. back up javier arenas.
p - jk scott.
k - reichard.
kr/pr - arenas and/or prothro. backup, freddie milons and/or kenyon drake.
