Alabama football fans are ready for spring practice.
Before next Friday arrives, yours truly of Touchdown Alabama Magazine will be releasing videos on In My Own Words to break down positional units for the Crimson Tide. Nick Saban and his program are trying to repeat as national champions of college football for the first time since the 2011-12 seasons.

Patrick Surtain II is the only one it loses to the NFL Draft.
