We all miss football. While we might not have it at the moment, the promise of a 2020 season is a welcomed distraction in these trying days. To help pass the time, BamaInsider is answering 20 important questions concerning the 2020 football season.
Over the weekend, we discussed 10 Alabama players who could be selected in next year’s NFL draft. But what about the players who will be leading the Crimson Tide on and off the field next season? Today we examine which players we feel will be in the running to be permanent team captains next year.
Alabama’s team captains last year consisted of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, receiver DeVonta Smith, linebacker Anfernee Jennings and safety Xavier McKinney. The Crimson Tide generally names three to four permanent team captains who are voted on by the players at the end of the year.
