One of the Alabama underclassmen that was considering turning pro has decided instead to stay in school.

Defensive back Tony Brown is expected to pass on entering the NFL draft and return for his senior season with the Tide, sources told AL.com.

Brown played in 11 games this past season after serving a four-game NCAA suspension, posting 32 tackles and two interceptions.

The Texas native was Alabama's nickel back the final seven games, stepping into that role after the Tide lost star safety Eddie Jackson to a season-ending injury.

At least three other Alabama underclassmen are expected to leave school and enter the NFL draft. Left tackle Cam Robinson and wide receiver ArDarius Stewart are both expected to turn pro, sources told AL.com. Sources have also told AL.com throughout the week that cornerback Marlon Humphrey is expected to enter the draft barring a late change of plans.

I think he was being sarcastic... considering I dont think anyone thought that Tony Brown would even be thinking about going pro.
