Think about all of the incredible players who've come from Alabama during Nick Saban's regime alone. Mark Ingram, Derrick Henry, Julio Jones. There's plenty more where that came from on both sides of the ball.

Think of all the success Alabama has had in football over the last six decades. Under Bear Bryant. Under Gene Stallings. Under Nick Saban. Yes, the Crimson Tide have 10 recognized national championships to their name since 1966—the first pro football season to end in a Super Bowl.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith became the first Alabama alumnus to catch a touchdown pass in the Super Bowl on Sunday, and former Crimson Tide teammate Jalen Hurts was on the other end of the throw. The Philadelphia defense had just stopped Kansas City with a fourth-and-5 incompletion at the Chiefs 46-yard line.
