Despite high tailing it from College Gameday, to making a speech at the unveiling of Saban Field, Nick Saban still made some time to meet with one of his legendary former players.

Prior to Alabama’s kickoff against USF, Saban met with former wide receiver Julio Jones which was shared by the Crimson Tide’s social media.

The post can be seen below:

 

Saban credits Jones as being one of the foundational recruits during his early years as Alabama’s head coach.

Jones would also go on to be one of the most dominant wide receivers in the NFL.

Saban will be honored again at halftime of Saturday’s game against USF for the reveal of Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
