Alvin Kamara jokes he and Altee Tenpenny were ‘stupid as hell’ for joining loaded Alabama backfield in 2013 class

Alabama’s roster has been packed to the top with talent at nearly every position since Nick Saban first arrived in Tuscaloosa. It’s never out of the ordinary for the Crimson Tide to have multiple pros at each spot, but the running backs room in 2013 was something entirely different.

During that season, the backfield possessed one of the college football’s best backs in T.J. Yeldon along with three future NFL stars in Derrick Henry, Alvin Kamara and Kenyan Drake. Along with those four also was four-star back Altee Tenpenny.

With so much talent and only so few snaps to be shared, Kamara and Tenpenny were some of the odd ones out when it came to playing time.
