Bart Starr played quarterback and defensive back at Alabama from 1952 to 1955, eventually going on to a Pro Football Hall of Fame career with the Green Bay Packers. Despite Starr’s talent, Alabama experienced limited success during his time there, including a winless season in his senior year.

Starr’s college career is part of a series highlighting significant numbers in Alabama football history as part of the countdown leading up to the 2025 football season and the commemoration of the Crimson Tide’s first national championship 100 years ago.

The article notes that although there have been many highly decorated Alabama players over the years, not all enjoyed great team success.
