The Nick Saban era at Alabama has seen a plethora of talented players come and go, particularly on the defensive side of the ball. Since PFF started grading every player on every snap in the FBS in 2014, Alabama has had 21 defensive players drafted, 16 of which achieved an excellent grade of 80.0-plus in their final year.

Despite all of the departures, Saban continues to reload with new stars every year, and the early returns in 2018 have been no different.

Those two guys have really stood out. QW's work is hard to see unless you really watch the line play, but DT looks like Andruw Jones back in the day roaming centerfield for the Braves. That dude covers a lot of ground, and not only that, but he also hits like a truck to support the run game. It would be very, very nice for those two young men to remain healthy all year.
