Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide start the journey to the College Football Playoff National Championship on Friday.
Alabama put 11 players in the NFL Scouting Combine and graduated others to different careers, but it has veteran players, contributors, and young enrollees set for action. Before Tide fans get ready for the fall, there are five crucial positions to watch in the spring.
