How he fits: Payne became Alabama’s dominant playmaker inside this past season, earning second-team All-SEC honors after finishing with 53 tackles, one sack, one interception and three pass break-ups. He was particularly stout against the run, especially in Alabama’s run to the national title in the playoffs as he earned defensive MVP honors in both the Sugar Bowl and National Championship Game.
