Alabama has used former NFL players on its scout team, even ones who have played or are playing in the NFL.
Former All-American running back Trent Richardson played the role of Leonard Fournette to help prepare Nick Saban’s team for LSU. Blake Sims, the quarterback for the Tide in 2014 when they lost to Ohio State, practiced with the Alabama this season as well.
Urban Meyer was definitely caught off guard when he heard this news.

The point is, did having Trent imitate Fournette or John Parker Wilson portray Etling (lmao) or Blake Sims act like Trevor Knight (heh) help Bama substantively?
Probably not. It was a nice homecoming, though. A few other teams have done it. It's ....nice. Perhaps more of a distraction than actual help, but whatev. Former players as guest scout team participants is the satellite camp of weekly practice.
