AJ McCarron Makes Pro Debut Tonight

Hard to believe it's been almost 600 days since one of Alabama's best QBs suited up.

Are you excited? You should be. Expectations are high for AJ McCarron and his NFL debut this evening.

The last time that AJ McCarron threw a pass in a football game, he connected with running back Derrick Henry on a 61-yard touchdown play for Alabama against Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl on Jan. 2, 2014. The last snap that McCarron took in a game isn't such a pleasant memory, as he was sacked and the ensuing fumble was returned for a touchdown as the Sooners sealed a 45-31 victory, only the fourth loss in McCarron's 40 collegiate starts.
