The trip of a lifetime for most of the Alabama players got even cooler on Saturday.
The Crimson Tide was paid a visit by a couple of the NFL’s top stars.
First, it was a visit from Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald.
The future Hall of Famer was likely hanging around the team’s facility during a bye week for the Cardinals, which own the NFC’s N0. 2 seed in the NFL playoffs:

Later, Coach Napier was showing off more encounters with NFL superstar receivers for his team.
This time, it was a much more familiar face for the Crimson Tide that was in town to support his alma mater:
