ROLL TIDE

In Tomlinson's three seasons of playing, Alabama went 40-4, claimed three SEC championships, appeared in two CFP National Championship Games and won one. The Crimson Tide also won the BCS National Championship when he redshirted as a freshman in 2012. Tomlinson played in one game in 2013 before a knee injury ended his season.

ALL ABOUT THE CRIMSON

Tomlinson was pursued by Harvard during his college recruitment. However, he chose the other Crimson and signed with Nick Saban's Alabama program. He was part of a loaded 2012 recruiting class that included Giants All-Pro safety Landon Collins.
