Alabama still has its primary feature running backs in Najee Harris and Brian Robinson, but a season-ending foot injury to Trey Sanders in fall practice caused Twitter to erupt.
Many Crimson Tide were excited to see the five-star true freshman play, and the coaching staff had the native Floridian in mind to serve in the Josh Jacobs/Kenyan Drake-esque role.
Sanders will need surgery to repair his foot and despite the capabilities of Jerome Ford and Keilan Robinson – who both performed well in the first scrimmage – there is another idea Alabama could pursue to create production out the backfield.
