Jumbo Package: Gump Day!

The safety position opposite Jordan Battle seemed to be a game of musical chairs at times this past season. Daniel Wright started 10 of Alabama’s 13 games there, while Hellams started the other three, including both College Football Playoff games. With the former being inconsistent and the latter closing out the 2020-21 schedule in the starting lineup, the spring could be a time for Hellams to make a move and make more appearances at the start of games instead of just the ends. Wright and others will provide good competition at the position, though.

I definitely spent most of 2020 campaigning to see more of Hellams at safety, and I really enjoyed watching him play against Notre Dame and Ohio State.
