Alabama's annual exodus of players to the NFL began Thursday as four starters from the Crimson Tide's championship team -- defensive lineman Christian Barmore, quarterback Mac Jones, defensive back Patrick Surtain and wide receiver Jaylen Waddle -- announced they would be leaving school early to turn pro.
ESPN NFL draft analyst Todd McShay predicts all four players will be selected in the first round. His latest mock draft also features senior running back Najee Harris and senior receiver DeVonta Smith, giving Alabama a total of six potential first-round selections, which would tie a record set by Miami in 2004.
