Former Alabama RB, Trent Richardson on Nick Saban being diagnosed with COVID-19: “It’s an emotional thing”

He has not shown any symptoms for Coronavirus, even though he diagnosed with a positive test on Wednesday, but former Alabama players are coming out in support of Nick Saban.

According to Christina Chambers, a sports reporter and anchor for WBRC Fox 6 News in Birmingham, Ala., Trent Richardson was emotional in discussing the situation with Saban. Richardson, a native of Pensacola, Fla., was a five-star in the 2009 recruiting class. He was an exceptional running back from 2009 to 2011 and played on two national championship teams.

Richardson was a fan favorite and he set the school’s single-season rushing mark in 2011.
