The latest quarterbacks to secure titles under Nick Saban's leadership at the Crimson Tide recently revealed the legendary coach's final championship ring.

Prior to the Crimson Tide's A-Day spring game on Saturday. Jalen Milroe and Bryce Young joined a group of Alabama staff to present Saban with the ring honoring Alabama's 2023 SEC championship.

Saban was surprised when he saw a huge ring sitting in the box.

"This is not really the ring, right?" asked Nick Saban to Young and Milroe. "So you guys think I should wear this?" Saban asked again before slipping the oversized piece of jewelry onto his finger.
"Now that is a ring. I knew they were getting bigger and bigger and bigger. But I thought there was some limit."

Alabama's victory over Georgia, 27-24, in the league championship game marked Saban's 11th SEC Championship win, spanning his tenures at LSU and Alabama. With this milestone, he now owns more conference title rings than he can wear on both his hands.

The former Alabama coach also motivated the Crimson Tide squad.

"I want you to know, I'm your best supporter. I'm going to stay behind the scenes, but you know where I'm at. If you need me, come see me, because I love you all and I want to see you be successful."
