Which Alabama football player would Nick Saban want to golf with most?

VESTAVIA HILLS —  Nick Saban is taking the golf course once again. The Alabama football legend hosted the 20th annual Nick's Kids Foundation Golf Tournament at the Old Overton Club in Vestavia Hills Tuesday, May 19. But Saban wouldn't share who he would want to share a golf cart with.

"That would be unfair because there's so many great people, number one, players, number two, guys I enjoy being around, number three, because they're relationships that were developed while they were players and continue on in the future," Saban said. "It would be totally unfair for me to pick one person. " Former Heisman Trophy-winning running back Mark Ingram was seen entering the club along with Alabama athletics director Greg Byrne, defensive coordinator Kane Wommack and quarterbacks coach Bryan Ellis.

"I think this is something I really appreciate more than you know because it is a great cause," Saban said. "If it wasn't for the University of Alabama and the football program, we couldn't do it. So for them to continue to support it, Greg Byrne, coach (Kalen) DeBoer, his staff, a lot of people in the university who help us be able to do this, it's very important to us and meaningful to us in terms of the appreciation we have for what they do to support it.
