3. Deionte Thompson

Deionte Thompson is the leader of that Alabama secondary.

He’s the most experienced defensive back and is a very physical safety. The weakness of that Alabama defense this season has been that secondary.

They’ve given up some big plays at times this season, so Thompson will certainly be the player to watch in that back end.

He’s a very talented guy that has the ability to make some plays in the passing game and come up and stuff the run.
