The Alabama football program has been a powerhouse with the pigskin and having elite players blossom into NFL stars. The same could be said for quarterback Jalen Milroe, except he has the Crimson Tide legacy in a different positive light.

Just last season, a similar thing happened where Alabama lost a backup quarterback, and that same gunslinger went on to have massive success at his next step. That was Eli Holstein, who threw for nearly 3,000 yards and 17 touchdowns during his first year at Pittsburgh, and Lonergan will try to replicate that triumph.
