The NFL schedule for next season was released on Wednesday, and over the past few years, teams have gotten creative on social media with how they reveal their individual slate of games.
Wednesday night featured Minecraft, memes, drawings, action figures and so many more ways to promote the schedule. But the Arizona Cardinals might take the cake for the best schedule release and former Alabama standout linebacker Mack Wilson Sr. led the way.
Wilson wrote and recorded an original song called "18 Bars," which represents the 18 weeks of the regular season. Wilson raps throughout the music video and goes by the name "Rocketship."
After two years with the Patriots, Wilson signed a three-year deal with the Cardinals in March 2024. The 27-year-old's 75 tackles last season were his most since his rookie year in 2019 and he also added seven quarterback hits, five pass breakups, four tackles for loss, three sacks and a fumble recovery.
Thursday's Crimson Tide Schedule:
- Outdoor track and field at SEC Championships, Lexington, Ky., All Day
- Baseball at Florida, Gainesville, Fla., 5:30 p.m. CT, SEC Network+
Wednesday's Crimson Tide Results:
- Alabama finished in eighth place at the 2025 NCAA Men's Golf Reno Regional. The Crimson Tide's 5-under par in Round 3 moved it up four spots from Tuesday, but it missed the 5-team cut. Cal earned the fifth spot with a nine-over par overall score in Reno, Mississippi State and Duke followed at 16-over and then Alabama shot 18-over par.
