Jahleel Billingsley entered the season with first-round pick potential at tight end for Alabama.
He had a good sophomore year in 2020, but Crimson Tide fans expected him to take off under offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien.
Off-field issues hindered his production earlier in the season, but he has been in step with the team as of late. Billingsley suffered some dropped passes; however, the junior has three touchdowns and averages 15.3 yards per reception.
The 6-foot-4, 230-pounder has become a good blocker. He’s grown into a team player, and Coach Nick Saban is about rewarding guys that put the team first.
