Top 25 Graded Alabama Football Players

kyle h · Nov 20, 2018

From Pro Football Focus (Minimum 300 season snaps).

I went through all the PFF numbers recently and wanted to pull the top 25 overall players (grade wise) through 11 games. Here is the list below and I have organized the offense and defense at the bottom. Interestingly enough, no running back made the cut as none have played in over 300 snaps this season. Also, found it interesting that Quinnen Williams has played less than Tua. How about Jaylen Waddle cracking the top 10 and Shyheim Carter? Carter is pretty underrated IMO. I don't agree with Isiah Buggs being ranked so low as he has played outstanding this year with 9.5 sacks. I figured you would enjoy.

All feedback is welcomed and the video will play at 8:00 p.m. CT
