    New head coach Kalen DeBoer has plenty of talent to work with as he takes over the Crimson Tide head coaching job, including two of the freakiest athletes in the country. Alabama's Jaeden Roberts and Kendrick Law were both featured on the Athletic's Bruce Feldman's Freaks List for the upcoming season.

    Offensive guard Jaeden Roberts has a 6'5", 322 lb frame, and Feldman writes that there are "many Bunyan-like tales of his feats of strength growing up." This offseason, Roberts squatted 825 pounds, benched 525, and power cleaned 405 this summer, according to Feldman.

    Roberts pushed 1,400 pounds on the sled at just 16 years old, and he showcases remarkable strength at the point of attack with the ability to finish through blocks with a mean streak.

    Wide receiver Kendrick Law is much smaller than Roberts at 5'11", 202 lbs, but don't tell him that. According to Feldman, Law bench-pressed 465 pounds, squatted 655, and power-cleansed 335 this offseason.

    Law also highlights elite speed on the field, clocking in at over 23 miles per hour last fall. He finished with just 15 catches for 135 yards in his sophomore season, but he's expected to have a much greater pass-catching role this season.

    Roberts and Law are just two of Alabama's elite athletes on a roster chock-full of top-tier talent. The Crimson Tide begin their season on August 31 with a home game against Western Kentucky, where their top athletes will showcase their skill.
