Monday's No. 40-31 selections in the annual 'Top 100 NFL Players' list included two former Alabama teammates who made perhaps the largest impacts on their respective sides of the ball during the 2018 college football season.
On Monday's No. 40-31 installment, two more Crimson Tide products joined the prestigious list, as New York Jets defensive tackle Quinnen Williams landed at the No. 37 spot and Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was placed right in front of him at No. 36.
Tagovailoa became the Crimson Tide's Week 1 starter for the 2018 season after subbing in for then-starter Jalen Hurts in the CFP National Championship and winning the game in heroic overtime fashion that past January. He dominated throughout his first season as Alabama's starting quarterback as he won the Maxwell Award and was named the SEC Player of the Year, a Consensus All-American and a Heisman Trophy finalist.
These two led Alabama to an undefeated regular season that started in Week 1 with the Tide as the No. 1 team in the AP poll and ended around a dozen weeks later in that same position at the top of the mountain. However, Clemson would destroy Alabama's hopes of winning back-to-back titles with a crushing 44-16 victory over the Tide in the CFP National Championship.
