Joe Pannunzio was a standup guy off the field for the student-athletes of Alabama football; however, its running back position missed an important ingredient when Burton Burns took an off-field role last season.
While balance was still obtained amongst players, the trust factor to lean on its rushing attack was not there for the Crimson Tide as it has been in previous years. Could it have been Pannunzio’s lack of experience with running backs prior to 2018?
Maybe, nevertheless, the latest name to work with Alabama is someone that is seasoned at the position and has already produced a generational talent.
