GREEN BAY — Nick Saban asks the question of his NFL-bound underclassmen each and year, knowing some of them won’t be able to fulfill their good intentions. Nevertheless, when the University of Alabama head coach has players leave early — a regular occurrence given the Crimson Tide’s success under Saban — he still asks.
Years ago, he asked Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, and last week, the Green Bay Packers’ Pro Bowl safety delivered.
“If you have a degree, you will have a lot more options and opportunities. (And) I think getting that education has always been important to Ha Ha and his mom,” Saban said in an interview last year, in advance of Clinton-Dix earning his degree in criminal justice.
