Aside from its group at wide receiver, the outside linebacker position for Alabama football is arguably the closest unit on the team.
This theory was first proven true in the aftermath of the Crimson Tide’s 26-23 win in the 2018 College Football Playoff National Championship over Georgia. Terrell Lewis and Anfernee Jennings (who was hurt at the time) embraced each other at midfield and cried together.
Both suffered injuries throughout their careers; however, the fear of not wanting to disappoint each other kept the two moving forward. Despite it being a big outside linebacker room upon Lewis’ arrival in 2016, he and Jennings were the inseparable two laughing and smiling.
