Alabama’s captain-of-the-trenches anchor
In the 2008 season, Antoine Caldwell was a dominant, versatile Alabama offensive lineman who started all 13 games, anchored the middle of a Tide line that helped power 196.5 rushing yards per game, and earned consensus first-team All-America honors plus Rimington Trophy finalist status.[12][13] What makes him pop is the combo of toughness, leadership, and flexibility—he started 48 career games, was a two-time captain, and was trusted at center, guard, and tackle.[6][13] If you want a seasoned, high-IQ interior lineman with proven big-game credibility, he’s a perfect fit.[2][6][12]
