Former Alabama QB returns to Tide practice as scout-team Trevor Knight

Blake Sims hasn't played in an Alabama uniform since the 2014 season.

He was back this week, sorta.

With the challenge of Texas A&M's Trevor Knight coming to town Saturday afternoon, the Crimson Tide brought Sims in to play his role on the scout team. That revelation was made Saturday morning on ESPN's College GameDay broadcast live in Tuscaloosa.

Sims was most recently a member of the Atlanta Falcons practice squad after a brief stint in the Canadian Football Leauge this summer.

Sims was live on the set in full shoulder pads and helmets demonstrating some of the things Alabama has to do at 2:30 p.
