Bo Scarbrough earns new NFL opportunity with a workout for Saints

Could one of the best running backs of the Nick Saban era at Alabama be heading back to the pros?

Bo Scarbrough’s first opportunity in the National Football League did not go well, but the United States Football League (USFL) has reopened its eyes to him. Scarbrough turned in three 100-yard performances for the Birmingham Stallions, including a 135-yard outing with a touchdown in the USFL Championship Game against the Philadelphia Stars. He delivered the Stallions to a championship, bringing Birmingham its first one in professional sports. Scarbrough’s efforts allowed him to receive a workout with the New Orleans Saints.
