As former Tennessee DB Rashaan Gaulden prepares to enter the NFL, he’s facing a lot of questions about his actions during the Alabama game this year.

Of course, Gaulden was caught on camera flipping off the Alabama crowd after a pick-six in Tennessee’s lopsided loss to the Crimson Tide.

According to The Tennessean, many NFL teams asked Gaulden about that moment during the NFL Combine, and he said he owned up to it, saying he’s matured a lot sense then:

“A lot of teams have asked me about that,” Gaulden said at the combine, “and I just tell them I’ve matured since then. I tell them that there’s no place in the game for that kind of act. I took it upon myself in the locker room after the game to ask for a public apology to the media, so that’s just something that I go back home and I wish I didn’t do because you have kids mimicking that same gesture and people thinking that it’s cool. But to me personally, that’s not the way I want to be remembered at the University of Tennessee.”

Gaulden, of course, shouldn’t be remembered for that one lapse in judgment, but it’ll be a while before he lives down his actions in Tuscaloosa.

At least the state of Alabama doesn’t have an NFL team, so he won’t have to go back there anytime soon if he doesn’t want to.
