Running back Kenyan Drake has an opinion about who the most “powerful” man in the country truly is.

It seems to be a normal occurrence in the world of college football: the Alabama Crimson Tide win a national championship and then head to the White House for a visit with President Barack Obama. It has happened four times in the last seven seasons, so by now there are probably members of the Alabama football staff and family that know their way around the Oval Office better than some employees of the Obama administration.

During the event Wednesday, the President commended the team on winning another championship (the 16th one claimed by the school in their history) before head coach Nick Saban took to the mic and addressed the crowd. After the ceremony, one member of the 2015 championship squad couldn’t help but take a picture with who he called “the most powerful person in the world”.

But before you think that running back Kenyan Drake (the man who basically won the title game over Clemson with his kickoff return for a touchdown) was posing with the Commander-In-Chief, Drake had someone else in mind:

Ohhh…I see what you did there, Kenyan! A fine troll job by you, young man!

There are many people in the state of Alabama (and in the world of college football) who wouldn’t disagree with Drake’s assessment of Saban’s place in our country’s power structure…but for now, we’ll stick to the sentiment that the most important person resides in the White House and not Bryant-Denny Stadium.
