Colby Wooden had one goal in mind at Auburn’s pro day: violence. Three weeks after he worked out in front of NFL teams at the combine in Indianapolis, Wooden was back in front of league personnel Tuesday on the Plains, and while he didn’t participate in the measurable workouts—the bench, the 40 and broad jump—he wanted to build off his showing at the combine the only way he knew how.

Alabama opened spring practice Monday, holding the first of its 14 on-field sessions before its April 22 spring game. And for the first time since 2018, there is legitimate intrigue about who will become Alabama’s starting quarterback as it begins preparing for a new season. Will it be Jalen...

What Nick Saban said about Alabama’s quarterback battle entering spring

When Auburn returned from spring break last week, Keionte Scott didn’t miss a beat. The former junior college transfer picked up right where the Tigers left off a little more than a week earlier and was a menace in the secondary as everyone else got back into a rhythm.

“There’s no such thing as being in the wrong place at the wrong time.” - Nick Saban. When Nick Saban speaks, people listen ... and decipher. Sometimes they hear the elephant in the room.

As Newton warmed up by throwing passes to his younger brother, former Auburn wide receiver Caylin Newton, he turned and posed a question to no one in particular.
