Taken from the NCAA Basketball thread.
I will only chose players that I actually saw play for Alabama.
1. AJ McCarron - The greatest throwing QB I've ever seen at Alabama, and while Tua may surpass him one day, AJ won 2 National Championships, and was a kick 6 away from winning a third.
2. Minkah Fitzpatrick - Probably the most talented athlete in Alabama history. Absolutely ran out defense for 2 years, and spent a considerable amount of time working on the younger guys to make sure the performances didn't dip after he left. Also, his story about being homeless in New Jersey is just one that movies are made out of. Truly one of the only players in the history of the game that has made me a fan of his team (the Dolphins) for no other reason than the fact that they drafted him.
3. Mark Ingram - The first ever Heisman at Alabama, and the leader of the team that was the first National Championship for Alabama that I ever witnessed (I was 6 in 1992). He also started this line of Running Back at Alabama which included Richardson, Henry, Lacy, Yeldon, Bo, Drake.
4. Shaun Alexander - My first year witnessing a good Alabama team was because of him, Andrew Zow (QB), and Chris Samuels. He was such a good and powerful runner and I will always remember him scoring those 5 TD's against BYU on national TV.
5. Freddie Milons - #15. This cat was unreal back when Alabama was dominating the league. One of the fastest guys I have seen in a Crimson jersey, and was absolutely deadly on punt returns and kick off returns. I will always remember him bringing one back against Florida in the SEC Championship game.
It's hard with Alabama due to a lot of more recent, absolutely studs that we have had, but here are a few more that I considered for this list.
Landon Collins, Dereck Henry, Julio Jones, Amari Cooper, Barrett Jones, Chris Samuels, Dre Kirkpatrick, Jalen Hurts, CJ Mosley, DJ Fluker, Andrew Zow, Leigh Tiffin, Mount Cody, Rueben Foster, Freddie Roach, Tua, Glenn Coffee, Marcell Dareus, Mark Barron, Dont'a Hightower, Courtney Upshaw, Eddie Lacy, Ha-Ha Clinton Dix, Eddie Jackson, Jonathan Allen, OJ Howard, Sunseri, and I'm sure there are more.
