Alabama’s steady, disruptive edge-setter
In the 2013 season, Ed Stinson gave Alabama a reliable, physical presence on the defensive line, finishing with 38 tackles, 2 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, and 1 pass breakup; over his Alabama career he totaled 101 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, and 5.5 sacks.[1][2] What makes him worth caring about is the combination of run-stuffing consistency, enough burst to pressure quarterbacks, and the kind of mature, hard-nosed demeanor that fits a defense built on discipline and leverage.[2][6][12]
