ESPN’s Maria Taylor serves as guest speaker for Alabama in fall camp

Alabama football has had several influential people speak to its players during fall camp.

Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Stephen A. Smith, Charles Barkley, Michael Phelps, and Larry Fitzgerald are a few marquee names that Coach Nick Saban allowed influencing his players. After Thursday’s practice, ESPN’s Maria Taylor served as a guest speaker.

She challenged Saban to a game of G.O.A.T. on the court, interviewed Saban, Tua Tagovailoa, DeVonta Smith, and Jalen Hurts, and she has grown in her broadcast coverage.

Taylor, a University of Georgia alum, shared her story with the Crimson Tide players. She received an Alabama jersey with her name on it and reunited with a fellow Bulldog alum in Joe Cox.
