In continuing the interactive question series with fans, the staff at Touchdown Alabama Magazine made it to the most athletic player in Crimson Tide history. The University of Alabama football program has had some incredible athletes, but who was the most gifted player athletically? Some names that come to mind include David Palmer, Julio Jones, Jaylen Waddle, Minkah Fitzpatrick, Derrick Thomas, Cornelius Bennett, Reuben Foster, and Henry Ruggs III.
The responses from fans on the most athletic player in Tide history are below.
1-Julio, Derrick Thomas, and C.Bennett

The Deuce. He was so athletic that Stallings just went ahead and lined him up at QB when Barker went down just so he’d touch the ball every play. The end around 2-point play to tie it with Tennessee IS my childhood so I’m a bit biased.
Julio is an obvious one. Waddle is too.

Could argue Reuben Foster.. But I think Jaylen Waddle is #1

Julio is probably the most overall gifted athlete.

I’ve heard from many that Joe Namath(pre knee injury) was special.

Minkah Fitzpatrick, Landon Collins, Freddie Millons, David Palmer, and Cornelius Bennett.
— Jeff Turner (@JTurner30) July 13, 2023
David Palmer
— Scott Stovall (@rev4ua) July 13, 2023
Deuce #1, but I think Ardarius Stewart was really a great, great athlete, and with practice I could see Devonta Smith being great at any sport. Even golf or tennis.

The answer is easily Ruggs. Look at his basketball highlights.
