“The team at Words + Pictures has encouraged me to really look back not just at my time at Alabama, but every stop along the way—and not just reflect on what happened, but consider the process that made it happen. I interacted with a lot of players and coaches along the way, and I’m happy to see that so many of them have contributed to this docuseries. There’s a lot to tell, and I’m excited to share it all.”
