Alabama football is prepared to face Michigan on Monday in the Rose Bowl.

The Wolverines have a good secondary, but it will be challenged by a talented wide receiver room for Alabama. Jermaine Burton, a senior receiver, leads the Crimson Tide for receiving yards (777) and touchdowns (eight) on 35 catches. He’s been one of the nation’s best receivers for making the most of his targets. He was targeted 52 times without a drop.

Burton assisted the Crimson Tide to a Southeastern Conference Championship and now has an opportunity to lift the program to a College Football Playoff National Championship.

He is set to have an elite showing versus the Wolverines.
