Wide receiver experimenting at DB, other notes from Alabama's first spring practice

Alabama went through its first practice of the spring Tuesday afternoon.

Here are some notes from the media viewing period:

-- There was nothing noteworthy that happened regarding the quarterbacks during the open portion of practice. Jalen Hurts threw to wide receivers on one side of the field. Tua Tagovailoa threw to the receivers on the other side of the field.

-- Butch Jones was on the field for practice. So was new Alabama analyst Jake Peetz, who was the Oakland Raiders' quarterbacks coach last season.

-- Wide receiver DeVonta Smith, who caught the game-winning touchdown in the national title game, was working with the defensive backs during drills.
