Alabama had a dismal showing in its opener against Florida State, losing 31-17. The loss has raised countless questions about the future of the once-dominant program. A bright spot for the Crimson Tide was senior wide receiver Germie Bernard. Despite a lackluster performance from the offense as a whole, Bernard hauled in eight catches for a career-high 146 yards. Alabama is more than familiar with elite wide receivers, with Jerry Jeudy, DeVonta Smith, and Jaylen Waddle, to name a few. Bernard had a solid 2024 season, but looks to raise his draft stock with a breakout 2025 campaign. He showed why he'll be playing on Sundays in Week 1, but how will he be utilized in the NFL?
