Byron Young is likely Alabama’s best DL for the NFL draft and he didn’t make the preseason SEC teams.

Alabama's is a very solid group, especially against the run, but as Cap said there hasn't been a disruptive pass rusher emerge from that group yet. Tim Smith and Byron Young have shown flashes, but nobody you can count on for it. However, with Anderson and Turner on the outsides, they certainly aren't in a position where they are asked to do that necessarily. But the emergence of Smith or Young as a pressure maker could take the group from very good to elite.

It is probably the most experienced 2-deep in the front 7 that I can remember at Alabama.

DE - Justin Eboigbe (37 games played)
DT - DJ Dale (36 games played),
DE - Byron Young (41 games played), Tim Smith (24 games played)
OLB - Will Anderson (28 games played)
ILB - Henry To'o To'o (38 games played)
ILB - Jaylen Moody (55 games played)
OLB - Dallas Turner (15 games played)
