- Alabama senior LB Shaun Dion Hamilton has been the odd man out within a talent-rich linebacking corps in Tuscaloosa, limiting his defensive workload in 2016. However, he still found a way to produce at an elite level within his restricted role, recording the most total stops (31) among returning SEC linebackers with less than 550 defensive snaps.
- Fueling his stop production, Hamilton has only missed nine of his 101 career tackling attempts.
- Hamilton has a knack for keeping ball carriers from getting too far from the line of scrimmage, as he ranked No. 17 among draft-eligible linebackers in total yards gained per tackle.
