Ozzie Newsome Shares Thoughts on Iron Bowl and More

Former University of Alabama Tight End Ozzie Newsome joined The Game with Ryan Fowler and Mick Gillispie Wednesday night.

Before excelling in the NFL as a player, then as an executive, Newsome got his start in Tuscaloosa, starting all four years for the Crimson Tide. During his tenure at the Capstone Newsome helped lead Alabama to a 42-6 record, including a perfect mark against the Auburn Tigers.

After amassing 102 catches for over 2,000 yards and 16 touchdowns, becoming the "greatest end in Alabama history" according to Bear Bryant, Newsome went on to a Hall of Fame career in the NFL recording 662 receptions for 7,980 yards in 13 seasons with the Cleveland Browns.

After his playing career ended, he joined the front office in Cleveland in 1991, becoming the NFL's first African-American General Manager nearly 10 years later in 2002, taking charge of the Baltimore Ravens.

Even with such a busy schedule, Newsome still has kept up with his Alma Mater. With the season winding down, Newsome believes if an Alabama v. Notre Dame national title game were to happen, the impacts could be greater than anyone imagined.
