We will not see Jordan Battle speak to reporters for a long time, but we can appreciate the originator of the “deez nuts” joke to Alabama head football coach Nick Saban.
As tough as he is, Coach Saban keeps a sense of humor.
It was one of his former players that introduced him to the joke. During Wednesday’s player interviews for the Baltimore Ravens, Marlon Humphrey hilariously detailed the origin of it. A native of Hoover, Ala., Humphrey played cornerback under Saban from 2014 to 2016. He was on three Southeastern Conference championship teams (2014-16) and a College Football Playoff national title team in 2015.
