Bradley Bozeman isn’t the only former Alabama player in the NFL. He’s not even the only Crimson Tide alumnus on the Baltimore Ravens. But he is the only former Handley High School standout in the NFL and probably the only player in the league whose full-time home is an RV.

Bozeman and his wife, Nikki, a former player on the Alabama women's basketball team, have lived in the recreational vehicle since March.

During an appearance on a live Q&A for the Ravens' Facebook page, Bozeman explained how they ended up living in RV.

“Me and my wife like to travel, and we wanted to tour the country,” Bozeman said. "And so we were like ‘What’s a better way than to get an RV and drive cross country.’ We have two dogs, so you can’t really fly them everywhere. So we wanted to bring them along with us, and we were like ‘Let’s just buy an RV, and then we’ll go in the offseason we’ll go place to place.’ We didn’t feel like we were comfortable enough to buy a house here yet, and we were like ‘We’ll skip out a lot of rent and save a lot of money by having an RV.’

"So went and brought the RV and about two months down the road, we were like 'Why don't we just live in it?' 'No, we can't do that.' And we kind of just kept playing with the idea and finally we did, and we found a great place to park it. We're saving a lot of money in rent and having a great time."

After the Ravens’ season ends, the Bozemans plan to take the RV on a trip to California and back, stopping for programs for the Bradley and Nikki Bozeman Foundation. Their foundation “seeks to make a difference in the lives of at-risk children and families with a focus on the dangers of childhood bullying.”

They're hoping Baltimore's season won’t end until Feb. 2 in Super Bowl LIV. The Ravens finished the regular season with a 14-2 record, the best in the NFL.

After a first-round bye, Baltimore begins the AFC playoffs when the Tennessee Titans visit for a Divisional Round game at 7:15 p.m. CST Saturday. CBS will televise the game.

Bozeman joined the Ravens as a sixth-round selection in the 2018 NFL Draft. As a rookie, he played in 14 games and made one start as an injury replacement.

When training camp began this season, Bozeman was among the candidates for the left-guard spot -- and probably not the leading one.

But Baltimore traded Alex Lewis, a 10-game starter at left guard in 2018, to the New York Jets on Aug. 5. The preseason depth chart then showed third-year player Jermaine Eluemunor in the No. 1 slot at left guard. But the Ravens traded him to the New England Patriots on Aug. 28.

Baltimore still had James Hurst, a tackle who played left guard at the end of the 2018 season when Lewis was hurt, fourth-round draft pick Ben Powers and undrafted rookie Patrick Mekari vying with Bozeman as left-guard candidates.

They all made the team, but Bozeman got the job.

“It was going to work for me,” Bozeman said of his preseason focus. “I’ve bought into the media hype of things before. That didn’t turn out well at all. But my whole thing is I work hard and I bust my butt. I put my nose to the ground and don’t pull up until the work’s done, and the work’s not done yet. Everybody’s job is able to be taken at any point. All these guys are pros, and I continue to try to perfect my craft and continue to grow as a player.”

As a rookie, Bozeman played 214 offensive snaps. In his second season, he played 1,106 -- every one for the Ravens' offense.

“I feel very strongly about my performance this year,” Bozeman said. “I feel like I’ve played very well. Definitely have some things to work on, and I want to grow as a player. Hopefully, I can continue that path.”

Marshal Yanda, the Ravens' eight-time Pro Bowl right guard, backed up Bozeman's self-assessment.

“He’s just consistently gotten a little bit better and continued to work extremely hard,” Yanda said. “He’s progressed as a player. When you’re in your second year, you have a lot of room to grow. The kid’s done that. He’s kept his head down and been more and more consistent.”

Bozeman and Yanda helped Baltimore set the NFL record for rushing yards in one season with 3,296 in 2019 -- 991 more than any other team in the league.

The Ravens had two 1,000-yard rushers -- former Alabama All-American Mark Ingram and quarterback Lamar Jackson, who also led the NFL in touchdown passes.

For their part in his success, each offensive lineman got a Rolex watch as a Christmas present from Jackson.

“We’re really grateful for that guy,” Bozeman said. “I had a Bolex, the fake Rolex, that costs you about $30. This is by far the nicest watch I have by leaps and bounds.”

Bozeman was the Class 3A Lineman of the Year for Handley's undefeated AHSAA Class 3A championship team in 2011. He was the starting center for Alabama's 2017 CFP national championship team and also played on the Tide's 2015 CFP national title team.
