3 Alabama Players That Could Produce Some Fireworks in 2016

He made a name for himself last season for the Crimson Tide, garnering 11 pass break ups, three sacks, and two interceptions (both of which were returned for touchdowns). Fitzpatrick played in 14 of 15 games for the Tide last year, and he along with Marlon Humphrey and Eddie Jackson (having good players around you makes many players better), will be the leaders in Alabama's defensive back field, and judging by his production in 2015, it's not crazy to think that Fitzpatrick could be one of the best defensive backs in the country by season's end.

In the past eight years, Alabama has seen the likes of Julio Jones and Amari Cooper, and now they'll get to see the second season of stud sophomore Calvin Ridley. During his freshman year, not much was expected from him, especially with the quarterback situation in question to begin the season. However, 89 catches and 1045 yards later, folks learned really quickly that he could have very well been the most talented receiver in the country as just a freshman. Fast forward one season, the quarterback situation is still in question, but that didn't stop Ridley the last time.

Alabama has been known as a running back factory, especially since Saban took his talents to Tuscaloosa in 2007. Last season, we may have seen the best of the best in Derrick Henry, but Bo Scarbrough could very well surpass even Henry's production of 2015 (as crazy as that may sound). Standing at 6'2" and 230 lbs, he's physically identical to Henry. If Scarbrough uses his size like Henry was able to do, we could be talking about Alabama's third Heisman Trophy winner.
