Former Alabama football offensive lineman, Alphonse Taylor is not a fan of disparaging comments about the Crimson Tide made by players who departed from the program, via the transfer portal.
Taylor took to X to respond to the comments on Thursday. His response comes on the heels of Earl Little stating Ohio State competes more in the weight room than Alabama did when he was a member of the Tide.

Taylor feels the players making similar comments about the Tide have one thing in common.
“It’s always the ones who didn’t do anything during their time at Bama with the most to say… never fails… Caleb Downs didn’t talk like that I wonder why…” Taylor posted to X.
