Over the past four years, Alabama has gone through a well-documented metamorphosis on the offensive side of the ball particularly at the quarterback position. The program has now helped produce three NFL starting quarterbacks in Mac Jones, Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts with current starter Bryce Young likely to break into that group once he becomes draft-eligible.
Young has been the bedrock of a Crimson Tide team that’s now on its way to defend its 2020 national championship on Monday against Georgia.
In his first season as the starter, Young has seen the success that no other Alabama quarterback has as he became the first Crimson Tide quarterback to win the Heisman Trophy. Part of what’s helped Young’s performance was the knowledge he gained waiting behind Jones last season which he acknowledged earlier in the year.
