When it comes to his NC, SB, and SEC rings is there a player in Bama's history that's more decorated?

It seems at this point we can compare the bling to just about any other player(s) in college football history.

Hightower has been about championships and his choices have reflected that. Coming out of Tennessee he had the good sense to chose the Tide. Even though he was drafted by New England he could have long since left through free agency. He took less to be a part of more. Robert Horry was the best at choosing the right pro teams to be around as far as titles were concerned. He just didn't have the college team success of a Hightower.

If the focus is on team accomplishments, yes.

Lee Roy had only one SB and NC, but I don't think Hightower gets to six first team pro bowl selections.

CJ has had a better pro career, pro bowls considered, and got two NC, but hasn't played for a SB contender.

I don't think any Bama LB will touch DT's 9 pro bowls in 10 years, just impressive.
