Ranking top five wide receivers of Nick Saban era at Alabama

Since 2008, the wide receiver position has been an area of abundance at the University of Alabama under Nick Saban. The six-time national championship head coach – five for the Crimson Tide – has managed to get some of the most talented perimeter weapons in generating explosive offenses.

This trend will continue in the fall as sophomores Jerry Jeudy, Devonta Smith and Henry Ruggs III all anticipate a big season in the Southeastern Conference. 

In moving with the offseason installment of “Top five of the Saban era,” yours truly of Touchdown Alabama Magazine broke down receivers on In My Own Words.
