The Facts:
On Friday, Nick Saban lent his support to Williams and criticized whoever allowed the information about the RB's substance abuse violation to leak. "I think the unfortunate thing is that we all have a professional responsibility as members of the NFL to live by the confidentiality rules we have to protect the players," the coach said. "I will be proactive of making any changes that are protective of the players so this doesn't happen."

Saban also said he has talked to Williams since the news broke last Sunday about the violation. Williams contacted Saban from India, where Williams is taking advanced classes in yoga and philosophy. "Yes," Saban said. "He's in India, at a retreat, and I totally respect that, and I don't discuss the kind of talks I have with players." Meanwhile, the NFL is not expected to hear the appeal of the case until April or May.
