Pre-Spring Position Preview: Breaking down the Alabama LBs

A closer look at the Alabama linebackers ahead of spring practice

Before we know it, new Alabama head football coach Kalen DeBoer will hit the practice field with his Crimson Tide players for the first time when spring practice gets underway in March.

With the retirement of the legendary Nick Saban, there have not been this many question marks surrounding the football program since 2007 when Saban took over.

Contrary to popular belief, Alabama still has one of the most talented rosters in the country and should be right in the thick of the college football playoff conversation.

Roll Tide Wire will preview each position group as the anticipation builds leading up to spring practice. Let’s take a look at the linebackers.

Terrell Lewis and Anfernee Jennings are both expected to be selected when the 2020 NFL Draft rolls around in April. But before that happens, teams would like to see them go through a gauntlet of drills.

Unfortunately, some of those drills won’t take place at the 2020 NFL Combine.

On Tuesday, NFL reporter Jason La Canfora tweeted that Lewis and Jennings had decided to skip the combine drills and would only be participating in the on-field work:

This isn’t all that surprising, as several other top NFL prospects, including LSU quarterback Joe Burrow and Ohio State defensive end Chase Young, have announced that they wouldn’t be doing any drills at the combine.

Instead, the two former Alabama linebackers will do on-field work while preparing to do drills such as the 40-yard dash, vertical jump, three-cone drill and more at the Crimson Tide’s Pro Day, which is set to take place on March 24.
