Alabama has set the standard for player care for the last 15 years. No one does it quite like Saban when it comes to athlete appreciation. These NFL care packages are just another example of the Tide taking things to the next level.
The Tide takes kicks off in just 26 days, so let's take a look at a legendary father/son duo that both suited up for the Crimson Tide, Bobby and Marlon Humphrey.
The Tide saw seven players drafted in the most recent NFL Draft, and certain NFL franchises have had a habit of selecting Alabama players during Saban's tenure. Why is that?
At 69-years old, Alabama head coach Nick Saban is one of the oldest coaches in the game today but he still finds a way to connect with his players. The seven-time national champion has a dry sense of humor that keeps his players on their toes.
During his time at Alabama, Nick Saban has shown that if an Alabama commit follows the "Process," then they can eventually make it to the NFL. In fact, since he took over in 2007, the Crimson Tide has had 33 players drafted in the first round of the NFL Draft.
