Hold Your Horses, Tide Fans
While the 49ers may have a healthy appreciation for crimson, the answer is no, they aren't exactly a Bama retirement home. There currently aren't enough former Alabama players on the team to qualify for their own on-field huddle (though they might have a killer halftime handshake routine).
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
So, How Many Crimson Tide Warriors Are There?
Here's the rundown for the 2024 season (as of May 15th):
QuickTip: Break reading into digestible chunks.
- Offense: Not a single houndstooth helmet in sight. Looks like the 49ers are getting their touchdowns elsewhere this year.
- Defense: Now this is where things get interesting. One, yes, just one former Alabama player currently suits up on the 49ers defense: linebacker Drevon, a beast who brings the heat (and maybe some sweet tea in his water bottle).
Drevon and the Dynasty: A Match Made in Heaven (or Alabama)
Drevon might be a lone wolf, but he's a darn good one. This linebacker brings the intensity Alabama is known for, and the 49ers are lucky to have him. Maybe he can teach his teammates the secret handshake?
QuickTip: Don’t just scroll — process what you see.
