Roman Harper

Roman Harper was born in 1982 and hails from Prattville, Alabama where he played just about every position and was selected to play in the Alabama-Mississippi high school all start game. When Harper left Prattville High School for the Alabama Crimson Tide, however, he became a dedicated safety.

Harper joined the Crimson Tide in 2002 and started for Alabama football in 2003, 2004, and 2005. Harper had 5 interceptions, 5 forced fumbles, and 4 interceptions during his time with the Tide.

The New Orleans Saints selected Roman Harper with their second round pick in the 2006 NFL Draft.

In the NFL Roman Harper has played for the New Orleans Saints and the Carolina Panthers and helped the Saints win the 2009 Super Bowl. Harper also went to the Pro-Bowl in 2009 and 2010.

George Teague

George Teague was born on February 18, 1971, and came to Alabama by way of Michigan and Germany before his military family settled in Montgomery, Alabama.

He is best known for chasing down Miami Hurricane Lamar Thomas and stripping him of the ball during the 1993 Sugar Bowl. The Alabama Crimson Tide would defeat the Miami Hurricanes in that game 34 -13 and earn their first national championship in 13 years.

The Green Bay Packers selected George Teague with their first round pick in the 1993 NFL Draft. He played in the NFL for eight years, spending time with the Cowboys, the Packers, and the Dolphins.

After his retirement, Teague formed the George Teague and Friends Foundation, which contributes to childhood and community outreach organizations.
