Marquis Maze, a former Crimson Tide receiver, feels people are forgetting D.J. Hall. Hall did not have Tua Tagovailoa, Mac Jones, or Bryce Young as his quarterback; however, he still had incredible statistics. Hall, who played at Alabama from 2004-07, is fourth all-time for career receptions (194), third for receiving yards (2,923), and tied for seventh in touchdowns (17).
Reggie Ragland, a former Alabama linebacker, agreed with Maze. He said via Twitter that Hall ‘was a problem.’
