  The Alabama preseason camp of 2021 came with legitimate questions about leadership. A power vacuum opened after losing such a veteran-stocked group that powered a national title run. The next few months validated those concerns as the Crimson Tide struggled to find the right voices. Linebacker Will Anderson was just a sophomore but stood up to fill the void, challenging teammates when their mindset wasn't up to standard. A year later, the All-American is an unquestioned voice among the leadership group in the Crimson Tide locker room. He offered an early evaluation of the mood as Alabama continues its first week of preseason camp. "There's not a lot of knuckleheads in the locker room," Anderson said bluntly, "no negativity in the locker room. Everybody's been bought in and committed and all into what we have going on this year."

The leadership group includes Anderson, defensive lineman DJ Dale, safety Jordan Battle, linebacker Henry To'o To'o and quarterback Bryce Young. Anderson said the group met with Nick Saban on Sunday. "Everybody's been very receptive of what we've been trying to get across," Anderson said, "the messages that we've been trying to get across to the team." Twice last season Anderson went public when he saw the team losing the mental edge -- first after a near loss at Florida and again after falling at Texas A&M. He didn't like the mindset, and though he was on the younger side, he couldn't sit back and say nothing after seeing what he saw. He sees a better disposition with the 2022 Crimson Tide. - Birmingham News
