Cornelius Bennett, Shaun Alexander nominated for NFL Hall of Fame

Ninety-four preliminary nominees have been announced for the NFL Hall of Fame, and Alabama is represented well with two all-stars from the 80s and late 90s.

Cornelius Bennett

Cornelius Bennett was terrifying. The rare outside linebacker that played the run and hit like an inside guy, an exceptional first step to match country-boy strength, and a monster off the edge as a pass-rusher, Biscuit did it all.

He was exceptionally healthy for such a physical player, starting 204 games out of 206 opportunities. To that number, he added another 20 starts in the playoffs out of 21 games.
