Alabama’s old-school linebacker with big-play instincts
In the 2004 season, Cornelius Wortham was an All-SEC linebacker for Alabama and later became a 7th-round NFL draft pick, which tells you he brought legit production and pro-worthy toughness to the Tide’s front seven. He was known for speed, quickness, and playing with an attacking edge, and his high-school résumé hinted at a disruptive, versatile defender who could also make plays as a runner. If you want a linebacker who fits a physical, instinct-driven defense and doesn’t mind doing the dirty work, he’s exactly the kind of profile teams love.
