Between NFL draft departures and the transfer portal, the defensive back room has been hit harder than any other position group this offseason in Tuscaloosa. Head coach Kalen DeBoer has not kept it a secret that he and his staff are heavily targeting DBs in the portal and this is made evident by the trio of portal targets that will be on campus this weekend and next week. According to BamaOnline (subscription required), the Crimson Tide is currently hosting Wake Forest tra ..read more

The Miami Dolphins signed star NFL wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to pair with Tyreek Hill and former Alabama Crimson Tide football standout Jaylen Waddle. Former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will be at the helm of the offense, which has left some to feel rather unsure how it will all transpire. The extremely fast and unique offense put together by Dolphins general manager Chris Grier and head coach Mike McDaniel is one of the most interesting in the entire league. At the wide receiver position alone, the star power is stronger than just about any other team in the NFL. Tagovailoa is c ..read more

After being drafted No. 24 overall in the 2021 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers, it appears as if former Alabama Crimson Tide running back Najee Harris’s time in Pittsburgh is coming to a close. The franchise decided to decline the former Pro Bowler’s fifth-year option on his rookie deal which will make Harris a free agent next summer while saving the team nearly $7 million. As quarterbacks and the passing game continues to dominate the NFL, the value of running backs has dropped quite significantly. With Harris being a former first-round pick, he does have a bit of a price tag that and th ..read more

Former defensive standout for the Alabama Crimson Tide Dallas Turner is expected to make an immediate impact on the Minnesota Vikings roster in his rookie season. With the No. 17 overall pick, the Vikings’ second of the first round, Minnesota selected Turner. Looking to boost the defensive side of the ball, the Vikings managed to land one of the best defensive players in the 2024 draft class at a spot much lower than many experts had projected. Now, analysts believe Turner’s presence will lead to an instant upgrade in Minnesota. Michael Middlehurt-Schwarts of USA TODAY named the 15 rookies for ..read more

Back in January, the college football world was turned upside down when the legendary Nick Saban announced his retirement as the head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide football program. Truth be told, I am not sure it will be real for fans of the sport until the season rolls around in late August and Coach Saban is no longer making his promenade inside Bryant-Denny Stadium. Not only will it not be the same for fans of the sport, but even the now former peers of Saban will have to adjust to the GOAT no longer pacing the opposite sideline. Recently LSU football head coach Brian Kelly shared his ..read more
