Right before the end of the 2022 season, news of a familiar face returning to Alabama football broke while the Crimson Tide was at the Sugar Bowl.
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix announced he was officially retiring from the NFL and would be returning to his college program to serve as a director of player development. He joined the Crimson Tide in New Orleans but held a virtual news conference with Green Bay Packers reporters after signing a one-day contract to retire with the team that drafted him in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft.
