Nick Saban denied lying to Plaxico Burress about his projected place in the NFL Draft in the latest round of a strange fight between the former Michigan State coach and his ex-captain.
“I’ve never knowingly told a player any information that I get, I get from someone else. And I can’t even remember the conversation,” Saban said on ESPN’s First Take according to AL.com. “I actually left Michigan State right after the Penn State game. I didn’t stay for the bowl game when I went to LSU and that was Plax’s senior year. We’re proud of what he’s been able to do and we’re happy to see him have as much success as he’s had.
