Title: Landon Collins says goodbye Post by: 2Stater on January 10, 2015, 06:05:15 PM http://www.saturdaydownsouth.com/alabama-football/landon-collins-goodbye-letter-alabama/
Quote “I can’t put into words what these past three years have meant to me not only in my development as a football player but even more importantly as a man. I came in as a 18 year old boy who wanted nothing more than to play for Coach Saban and wear the prestigious “A” on my helmet. Coach Saban along with all the other coaches at Bama have not only mentored me on the field but also showed me the tools I would need to succeed in life outside of football. Hard work, dedication and discipline are not only words in a dictionary but the actual way of life taught to me during my time at the University of Alabama. I can honestly say I am a better man after spending the last 3 years in Tuscaloosa. Now that the time as come for me to take the next step in my journey I will dearly miss all my teammates who I sweat, cried and laughed with. I have no doubt it is true when they say the best time of your life is when you are playing college football and I wouldn’t have picked a different group of guys to spend that time with. Lastly but certainly not least I want to thank all the Roll Tide fans that took a young man from New Orleans and took him in as one of their own. I fed off the passion you all showed every Saturday at the games and can’t start to thank you for enough being the BEST FANS IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL! :'( Title: Re: Landon Collins says goodbye Post by: N.AL-Tider on January 10, 2015, 07:34:06 PM I read that earlier this morning.

It must be a hard choice, to leave your friends behind for the payroll of the NFL, but also hard to turn down the ca$h.

Did someone finally tell him there's no "A" on his helmet? :tinfoil: :tinfoil: :tinfoil: Title: Re: Landon Collins says goodbye Post by: 2Stater on January 11, 2015, 07:14:49 AM Quote “I can’t put into words what these past three years have meant to me not only in my development as a football player but even more importantly as a man.

One on his chinstrap (does that count?) and another as part of the MAL sticker last year. Maybe he is talking about those. :dunno: Title: Re: Landon Collins says goodbye Post by: ricky023 on January 11, 2015, 11:05:15 AM Either way you man and I use the term totally. you knew better than your Mom and you stepped up to the plate.
