Barrett Jones - Alabama 3-time National Champion Offensive Lineman

Barrett Jones is a former Alabama offensive lineman who was a member of three national championship teams under head coach Nick Saban. He was named first-team All-American in 2011 and 2012 and was awarded the Outland Trophy (best lineman in college football) in 2011.  He ended his Alabama career winning three BCS national championships and played a different position in each of those seasons, as an All-American guard, an All-American right tackle, and an All-American center.  Following his college career, Barrett was selected in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft. Due to injuries, his career only lasted three years and by 2017, his pro football career was over at age 26.  Recently, he's been working as a color analyst on college football broadcasts with ESPN Radio.  Today on the podcast, we talk to Barrett about winning championships at Alabama, what makes coach Nick Saban special, what it means to commit to the process, the identity crisis he went through and the difference between justification and sanctification.  --- If you enjoyed this podcast with Barrett, you'll love these conversations as well: - Rich Wingo - Former Alabama Linebacker - Mac Powell, Singer/Songwriter – Third Day
