NFL first-round draft pick, former Alabama star, sports massive LANK tattoo

JC Latham wants to Let A Naysayer Know.

The No. 7 overall pick to the Tennessee Titans posted to Instagram a video of getting a LANK tattoo on his arm, honoring his time under Nick Saban with the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe explained the acronym early last season, which was the Crimson Tide’s rallying cry last season.

“Let A Naysayer Know. I think it was something we built throughout the offseason,” Milroe said in September. “We came as one unit to try of think of something, a motto, that’ll push our team. There’s a lot of doubt that took place throughout the offseason and a lot of things took place. That was one thing.”

Terrion Arnold, described as Milroe’s LANK brother, also described what LANK meant to him in September.

“Kind of like everybody disrespecting us and everybody doubting us,” Arnold said of the phrase. “Kind of like with us addressing all the disrespect and really taking it personal like we really take that personal. So this is the part when you go out there. Like coach Saban says, you play to the standard. You LANK ‘em.”

Earlier this week, Arnold revealed he and Milroe are teaming up with country singer Walker Hayes to produce a “LANK” country song.
