David Palmer Deuce Alabama’s No. 2 was arguably most electrifying player in program history

EDITOR’S NOTE: Every day until Aug. 29, Creg Stephenson is counting down significant numbers in Alabama football history , both in the lead-up to the 2025 football season and in commemoration of the Crimson Tide’s first national championship 100 years ago. The number could be attached to a year, a uniform number or even a football-specific statistic. We hope you enjoy.

Others, even some superstars, have worn the No. 2 since, but there’s only one true “Deuce” in Alabama football history.
