Elite defensive play has been a staple of the Alabama football program for nearly its entire history, producing some of the most talented defensive players in the sport.
Part of what makes an elite defense is having the ability to generate a pass rush and sack the opposing team’s quarterback. Alabama has a rich history of producing such players. From the late great Derrick Thomas to the more recent star in Will Anderson Jr., some of the all-time great pass rushers have worn the Crimson and White.
