Three Alabama football players traveled to Birmingham on Tuesday and visited patients at Children's Hospital.

"Thank you for having us yesterday," Alabama offensive lineman Tyler Booker wrote in a post on X. "We are so glad that we were able to be a blessing yesterday! We are looking forward to our next visit!"

Booker was joined by quarterback Jalen Milroe and fellow offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor as they spent time with patients and took pictures, which Children's posted on social media.

"A huge thank you to Alabama football for bringing their winning spirit to our inpatients today! It was an unforgettable day filled with smiles, laughs and inspiration," Children's wrote in a post on X.
