The 2022 Preseason All-SEC teams have arrived, and Alabama was recognized with a resounding eight players on the first team. The Tide is receiving a lot of preseason hype, but this is likely because the 2022 team may be one of the best rosters Nick Saban has had during his tenure at Alabama.
Saban returns Heisman trophy winner Bryce Young, Bronko Nagurski winner Will Anderson Jr. and others. The list could go on for days. The Tide also added key pieces via the portal, including three who appear on the preseason first team. Expectations for this team are as clear as can be: compete for a national championship.
