Let’s not even preface the headline or story with the word “may”. To say Alabama’s running back depth may be the nation’s best and deepest unit is like saying the sun “may” come up tomorrow, because barring some unforeseen act of God, it will and Alabama’s running back depth just is the nation’s best.
While other schools may have a running back on the level of Najee Harris and some may even have a back that good and a great backup, how do they look, three, four, five, six or more deep? That’s how far you can go down in the Crimson Tide depth chart and find running backs that would start at many big time schools.
