The big story out of Talladega on social media didn’t have anything to do with the race, it was all about Jason McMillan. If the name doesn’t ring a bell, that’s because he’s known more for his massive Nick Saban/Alabama tattoo spread across his back. A shirtless pic of McMillan went viral over social media last weekend.
If you missed the photo in question, here it is in all its glory featuring an Al Pacino looking Nick Saban, an Alabama “A” logo, a number of Crimson Tide championship seasons (although strangely not every title team is represented), as well as McMillian’s own name.

McMillian recently spoke to Matt Fortuna of Yahoo! Sports and claims the tattoo is far from finished. He also revealed the Saban face took around five hours to tattoo onto his body. He also claims to have “attended” Bear Bryant’s final game as Alabama coach, the 1982 Liberty Bowl. The 36-year-old McMillian had yet to be born for the game but he was in his mother’s womb as she was in attendance for Alabama’s bowl game versus Illinois.
Needless to say, McMillian was born to represent the Crimson Tide.
