Alabama's former coach really wanted another team's cornerback.
Toledo cornerback Quinyon Mitchell poses after being chosen by the Philadelphia Eagles with the 22nd overall pick during the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.Bo Nix went 12th overall to the Denver Broncos two years after leaving the Auburn Tigers for the Oregon Ducks. That was the biggest first-round shocker on Thursday night.
Some coaches do less with more. John Calipari, for example. Harsin was so bad he couldn’t recognize a first-round talent at quarterback and all but ran Nix off. The second point of interest from Thursday night’s first-round festivities was a comment made by Saban during the draft. Now an analyst for ESPN, Saban participated in the draft broadcast with fellow members of ESPN’s College GameDay crew. Saban did a great job. He was informative, insightful and funny just like I knew he would be.
Did Saban admit to tampering? I wouldn’t go that far, but that’s certainly where the chatter went after Saban’s analysis of draft pick Quinyon Mitchell, the cornerback from Toledo who went 22nd overall to the Philadelphia Eagles.
