Throughout the program's storied past, the Alabama Crimson Tide have seen countless players receive All-America honors, many of which have been among the greatest to ever play college football at their respective position. However, have you ever wondered, just which of those all-time Alabama greats are considered among the best-of-the-best in college football history? Well, the Associated Press (AP) recently released its' all-time All-America college football team, with a total of three Alabama players named. Of those three, two were First Team selections in John Hannah and Derrick Thomas, while DeVonta Smith was named to the Second Team. Hannah, named as an offensive guard, spent three seasons at Alabama from 1970-72 under head coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, and is considered one of the greatest lineman in Crimson Tide history. While at Alabama, Hannah was a two-time All-America selection in 1971-72, the second of which was unanimous, and went on to have a memorable NFL career that resulted in both a College and Pro Football Hall of Fame induction. Thomas played at Alabama for four seasons from 1985-88, and is still to this day considered among the best to ever wear a Crimson Tide uniform. The linebacker, who is Alabama's all-time sack leader, was a two-time All-America selection in 1987-88, the latter of which was unanimous, while also winning the 1988 Butkus Award during a career that resulted in a College and Pro Football Hall of Fame induction. Smith is Alabama's all-time leading receiver, who ended his four-year Crimson Tide career with 3,965 yards from 2017-20. All three of Hannah, Thomas, and Smith were among the greatest to ever play at Alabama, and certainly left their mark on the Crimson Tide, as well as college football overall.
