Alabama will have a significant presence in Super Bowl LIX, with five former Crimson Tide players set to take the field for the Philadelphia Eagles. Representing Alabama are quarterback Jalen Hurts, wide receiver DeVonta Smith, offensive linemen Landon Dickerson and Tyler Steen, defensive lineman Byron Young, and cornerback Eli Ricks.
Hurts, Smith, and Dickerson have been pivotal to the Eagles’ offensive success. Hurts and Smith have formed a dynamic duo, connecting on 76 passes for 909 yards and eight touchdowns. Dickerson, versatile on the offensive line, has anchored the Eagles’ front, playing both guard and center.
Tyler Steen has appeared in all 17 games this season, starting in two, including the NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders. Eli Ricks has contributed as a depth player, participating in seven games.
Byron Young, although on injured reserve, is also part of the Eagles’ roster. If Philadelphia secures a victory in the Super Bowl, it will mark the first time since 2022 that an Alabama player, A’Shawn Robinson of the Los Angeles Rams, has won the championship.
