A few things Alabama players said about hurdles, tattoos hurting, shotgun snaps

And now, it's time for a few quick hitters from Alabama football interviews on Ole Miss Monday.

Four players came up to chat with the distinguished press corps in Tuscaloosa. Here are a few notable or funny things said this time:

-- Deionte Thompson had good things to say about starting safety Xavier McKinney. He said the sophomore has matured a lot this year. "He's a leader. He gets the calls across the board to everybody. Me and him do a good job communicating and I'm proud of the progress that he's making."

-- Tattoos are not Thompson's thing.
