Alabama Football: A farewell thank you letter to Jalen Hurts

Jalen Hurts,

Thank you for embodying everything that is good about college football. You are the picture of perseverance, dedication, and loyalty. Kids everywhere should look to you as their idol for everything you represent. A Hollywood film producer couldn’t muster up a story as beautiful as yours.

Thank you for being a competitor. You proved that from the first day you walked on the field to play Alabama Football. A true freshman taking over in the middle of the first quarter opening game against USC in 2016, you fumbled the ball on your first play.

After the 52-6 win over USC, I remember saying we may not lose again with this guy behind center.
