He’s a great coach,” Braswell said. “One thing I learned from him is to do everything right when nobody’s watching. Anyone can do all the right things when you have cameras, but are you still going to do those right things behind closed doors
? So one of his biggest things. just work hard even when no one is watching.”Braswell is one of three Alabama players in the Senior Bowl, along with defensive lineman Justin Eboigbe and kicker Will Reichard.
