re: Jalen Hurts: '...there’s a different aura around Bama guys'

Here is the key to me. It's a mindset, work ethic and they trust and believe in their coach and his system. He has built a winning culture at Alabama, and that is hard to beat.

I was at ULM whenever Derrick Gore transferred over from Bama. You could tell immediately, that he was different than everybody else. Anytime he was at the football stadium, it was all business. He never clowned around, like many other ULM players did. It was refreshing to have someone with a work ethic like that around the program.

Didn’t really do much in the grand scheme of things, because one player can’t change the stuff that goes on there, but it made me respect Saban a whole lot more. That mindset will make you successful in not just football, but in life, and that’s what it’s really all about. Turned kids into responsible men. Gore is having a pretty good stint with the Chiefs right now too, especially with CEH being injured. Hard work always pays off in the end.
