In the 2012 November elections, Alabama coach Nick Saban received at least 300 write-in votes, including at least one for president.
On Tuesday, Crimson Tide receiver Amari Cooper may have joined Saban as an unknowing political candidate.

David Ikard posted what we assume is his ballot for the state of Alabama elections. He opted to not vote for either candidate on the ballot — Parker Griffith and Robert Bentley — and instead marked in Amari Cooper as his write-in candidate.

But this is one potential candidate unlikely to get any support.
I will start my campaign for president next fall. I will pardon myself, and then put Jameis Winston in jail just because. #VoteHarvey4Prez
