On Wednesday, two fathers were featured on In My Own Words.
Both represent young men who guided the University of Alabama to a College Football Playoff National Championship in 2020, as Patrick Surtain Sr. and Gordon Jones spoke with yours truly of Touchdown Alabama Magazine.
Surtain was the first of two interviews. He played cornerback in the National Football League for 11 seasons with the Miami Dolphins (1998-04) and Kansas City Chiefs (2005-08). After having success in the pros, he became a coach at Heritage High School in Plantation, Fla. Surtain coached his son, Patrick Surtain II, to being a five-star recruit and he signed to the Crimson Tide in 2018.
