Bo Scarbrough may return to the National Football League someday, but he is forever an icon in the state of Alabama.
On Thursday, he had residents of Birmingham finally able to exhale with joy. The city has a championship in pro sports as the Birmingham Stallions defeated the Philadelphia Stars in the United States Football League Championship Game in Canton, Ohio.
Scarbrough joined the team on May 9 and became a marquee impactful player. He posted two 100-yard rushing performances during the regular season, but he saved his best for the biggest moment. Scarbrough pounded the Stars’ defensive front like he did versus the competition he had at Alabama.
