As Bryce Young heads off to the NFL Draft along with running back Jahmyr Gibbs and outside linebacker Will Anderson Jr., some new names and old faces take centerstage at the A-Day spring game.

Last year, Alabama missed out on a rematch with Georgia in the SEC Championship due to a loss to Hendon Hooker and the Tennessee Volunteers and a late season loss to the LSU Tigers in Baton Rouge. That was last season and you can bet your boots that Coach Saban is using every loss as bulletin board material.
