Over the next few weeks, Alabama Football position battles will fill headlines. Every Crimson Tide fan knows Nick Saban and the Alabama football staff must choose new starters on the offensive line, at wide receiver and in the secondary. The competition for the key roles will garner most Fall Camp attention.
Somewhat lost in the clamor over who the new Crimson Tide starters will be – is another void to be filled at a key position. Thomas Fletcher performed so well for the Tide as a long-snapper, he was drafted by the NFL.
