Tua Tagovailoa
Tua had some very good news on Wednesday. He said he feels great and is the healthiest he has been since he arrived in Tuscaloosa. The Alabama football QB wizard also said the coaching staff wants him to play at no more than 218 pounds. He said his current weight is 215 pounds.
On his recent hamstring problem, Tua said it was just tight and was not a pull or a strain. Skipping the Manning Passing Academy was just precautionary.
He also shared some clearly sincere words about the value of lessons that accompany losing.
Really impressive words from Tua Tagovailoa about #Alabama's last two National Championships.

"I think they were both good... when you win it's a great feeling and when you lose it isn't a great feeling. It was good that we lost, because what can you learn if you keep winning?" pic.twitter.com/AvbbiYwg2g
Tua said the 2019 team has chosen “never be satisfied” as its defining goal for the upcoming season.
Dylan Moses
For those searching for the next ‘Alabama Alpha’ – he is Dylan Moses.
The most remarkable thing about Dylan Moses is not that he is a physical freak. He is, but his resolve is his greatest strength. He admits to being a perfectionist like his head coach. In himself and with his teammates, “he wants everything done the right way.”

"I have to be more vocal. I have to learn to understand the other guys, try to reason with them on things like personal life stuff. I want to be that guy they can come to and not just for football."https://t.co/6rPMaVhAh2 pic.twitter.com/vFcDQaO83V
Jerry Jeudy
Jerry Jeudy admitted Henry Ruggs III is the fastest player on the Alabama football team. Jeudy also said, despite winning last season’s Biletnikoff Award as the best receiver in CFB, he must improve several components of his game.
Asked about his preference for a hobby, Jeudy said,
Alabama WR Jerry Jeudy on his hobbies. “I either watch film, train, or watch highlights. That’s mostly like my hobby is football. I won’t say I love football. I’ll say I’m addicted to it.” #SECMediaDays

That addiction should pay some big dividends next spring when Jeudy is selected as the first wide receiver in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Fans who have never attended SEC Media Days wonder how crazy it can be in Hoover. Take a look below at some ornate headgear.

That is not a ring. It is the top of a hat. What can we say, Roll Tide!
