It’s nice to see how influential a strong supportive mother can be in a child’s life. Najee is lucky to have her. It’s also nice to see the impact that coaches can have in a person’s life. Everyone needs proper guidance but not everyone is lucky enough to get it. This is great journalism right here.

Yes indeed!

[@mikeybmore5860]

Beast Roll tide

[@JocTillery]

I was in federal prison the championship game vs Georgia. Im from Alabama and ppl was picking at us during the game when Saban put the freshman in. saying he gave up and checking out his talent for next season. Ppl were collecting their money from their bets and everything and to see us comeback and being able to laugh at the ppl making jokes and den ppl picking at us again when Tua got sacked and den having da last laugh on 2nd and 26. Ill never forget that emotional roller coaster. So proud of the guys for never quitting and fighting to the end!

[@DeeTheSwagguy12]

Crazy how he point out the fake fans! They only love you when you doing good

@@scottbachmann1962 great example is Jalen Hurts.. 26-2 as an Alabama QB. Was call a dumbass. No talent bum. This after leading team to two straight Natties. The first lost after he lead the team to the lead in the game and the defense couldn't hold Deshaun Watson and Clemson from scoreing. Now he's the starting QB in Philadelphia. When a lot of Bama fans said he needed to change positions are change careers. That's why he call fans fake. They love you in the good times but can hate you after one fucking play.

[@russellstroup3014]

Congrats Najee on getting your degree! Welcome to Pittsburgh we’re glad to have you 👍🏻

Congratulations to Najee. You're a college graduate. You're a champion. Both of those things can never be taken away from you. No matter what. Way to finish.

[@kelleywarriors7091]

I’m extremely glad that Najee stuck it out, it’s true, it’s hard for students that go to universities across the country. Especially when you are separated from family, friends, and what you know. I have three daughters all in school. Depression exists on a lot of campus’s , especially with students that are athletes. Najee is a strong man.
