Nick Saban: Tua Tagovailoa, Jalen Hurts Must Avoid Attracting Too Much Attention

Alabama coach Nick Saban has made his message clear to his quarterbacks: Be seen on the field, not heard off of it.

"I've told both players, 'You've gotta win the team, and everything you do to bring attention to yourself, or anybody even in your family that brings attention to yourself, you're not doing yourself a service in trying to win the team,'" Saban told ESPN on Tuesday.

Tua Tagovailoa and Jalen Hurts are set to battle for the starting quarterback position in camp. Hurts is 26-2 as Alabama's starting quarterback over the last two seasons.
