Saban isn’t happy that NFL draft grades were delivered to juniors on Dec. 15. Said players played not to get hurt, ran out of bounds

Alabama‘s Nick Saban is a god at the college level. Year after year, he recruits top talents, competes for SEC titles and national championships as well.
Well, things didn’t go according to plan in 2014, and Saban was not happy. Of course, the Crimson Tide not making the championship was not Saban’s fault. The NFL draft grades crushed Alabama’s title hopes. Clearly.

Ex-NFLer Plaxico Burress didn’t necessarily agree with Saban’s statement, and he did the only thing there is to do nowadays when an argument needs to be settled.
He took to Twitter for the whole world to see. You mad, bro? Yeah, he mad.
I recall Nick Saban telling me to stay in school finish what I started, I wasnt 1st round pick and he left for LSU b4 the season was over — Plaxico Burress (@plaxicoburress) July 15, 2015
