A 2014 leader explains when the team became "divided" last season.
Even if Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus had passed the team's pre-training camp conditioning test, he wouldn't have been at practice on Monday. Instead, Dareus was in Calhoun County Circuit Court in Anniston, where he was accepted into a pretrial intervention program that could result in all charges against him from a May 5 traffic stop being dropped.
We’ve always done this kind of stuff for our players," Alabama coach Nick Saban told the AJC on Monday. "We’ve had players that had Hodgkin’s disease and couldn’t play.

We’re all about trying to create opportunities for guys, and give them opportunities. Elisha was a guy, since he was committed to us, we wanted to see if there was anything we could do to give him the opportunity to get education here even though he was medically disqualified to play.
"We were really just trying to take care of our own."
