Media day before major championship games always brings out interesting photos and stories.
Well, this is one of those photos. And if you’re squeamish, it could be one you’d rather skip.
Alabama RB Kenyan Drake broke his arm late in the regular season, and it required surgery.
He showed his scar to SEC Network host Dari Nowkhah following an on-set interview with the network:
Just interviewed @KDx17 on @SECNetwork and afterwards, noticed the scar. He says "Ha, pretty cool, isn't it?!" pic.twitter.com/IPEGUas8bE

Drake could play a major role in the national title game as a complementary option to Heisman winner Derrick Henry.
He also offers some versatility in catching the ball out of the back field and is always a homerun threat.
Drake appears to be enjoying his first visit to Arizona for the game:
Phoenix is beautiful. Never seen mountains in person before

Does it rain often in Phoenix because it just started pouring when we arrived. The tide is here ?? #rolltide
