Former Tide safety Mark Barron having third annual turkey giveaway

In every stop he has made as an athlete and a man, Mark Barron left a positive impact.

He was an All-American safety at University of Alabama and is one of the more recognizable outside linebackers in the National Football League; however, he is regarded for much more in his hometown of Prichard, Ala.

Coming from the Mobile area, the once five-star prospect from Saint Paul’s Episcopal High School has always wanted to be a consistent force in helping his community. His former teammate at Alabama, Chris Rogers, saw the same thing in Barron, which is why the Florida native and 2009 BCS national champion added him to his team.
