Got to see Keelon Russell play live in high school. He’s up next for Alabama. All the tools to be a future first round pick.

Some really nice throws during their A-Day scrimmage. #RollTide

It’s always nice to see a young #Alabama fan get his gump card. #RollTide

Bill Parcells' 30 college starts is back in vogue as magic number for #NFLDraft QBs. #RollTide Ty Simpson has half that many.
