Alabama fans never wanted to lose its defensive backfield to the National Football League, especially after how last season ended, but it provided a silver lining as head coach Nick Saban has located someone that is prepared to carry the torch.
When it comes to fans, the sun sets on Minkah Fitzpatrick as the most complete defensive back to come through Saban’s program. In comparing someone else to the former All-American safety, New Jersey native and first-round pick, one must have all information in order before getting drilled by those that watched Fitzpatrick. Even if it is a young riser on this current Tide team, supporters of this program feel a certain way about Fitzpatrick and what he brought.
