The NFL preseason is a time for young players to make a name for themselves. Last week, players like Josh Jobe, Mack Wilson, and Jalen Hurts all played well in their allotted playing time. This week appeared to be no different than last. Several former players reached the end zone while several other players shined on the defensive side of the ball.
Alabama has produced some of the league’s best talent. Fans will likely see more of the superstar-like players during week one of the regular season. Most front offices and coaching staff don’t want the risk of having franchise players hurt in a meaningless game.
However, several notable alumni saw the field this past weekend. Tua Tagovailoa, OJ Howard, and Cam Sims all played well in week two of the preseason. Each saw their first meaningful snaps of the preseason this past weekend.
Today, Roll Tide Wire will take a look at several former Alabama players and how they fared in week two of the NFL preseason.
