DeMarcco Hellams has experience, but Nick Saban wants more depth at dime for Alabama

Of the aspects Nick Saban made himself clear on this offseason, creating depth across the board for this year’s Alabama football team was one of them.

Every position on offense is filled with talented players, while the Crimson Tide has stockpiled bodies on its defensive line, inside linebacker and outside linebacker. The area Saban is working on happens to be the one he’s most known for.

Alabama graduated four players to the National Football League from its secondary and though it appears to be set at cornerback and safety, Saban is concerned about the depth for the team’s sub packages.
