A.J. McCarron tweets support for Manti Te'o

Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron — maybe now better known as Katherine Webb's boyfriend — is asking critics to give the beleaguered Notre Dame player some space and hold back passing judgement until all of the facts of the bizarre story are in. Via twitter, McCarron — who led his Crimson Tide team to a 42-14 rout over Te'o's team in the BCS Championship Game — showed compassion towards the troubled linebacker.

I think we should give manti sum respect & don't judge bc we don't know what all is going on. It could be deeper than told. Praying for him!

McCarron's simple tweet just goes to show that football connections go beyond teammates and he has lot of respect for his on-the-field rival.
