Five impact players for Alabama football going into 2018 spring practice

Nick Saban may have stated that winning a College Football Playoff National Championship last season was the happiest moment of his life, but as always, the University of Alabama head football coach returns with the self-same message to a new team: “last year is over.”

This spring, the Crimson Tide will begin charting its boat toward national title No. 18 and while it lost some players to the upcoming NFL Draft, more impact stars are ready to emerge.

With the A-Day game expected to draw a massive crowd – especially for the quarterback competition between Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa – Tide fans are relishing the most highly-anticipated offseason since the spring of 2009; the year the school won its first title under Saban.
