Alabama football coach, Nick Saban will truly miss being with his former players Thursday night. It will be the second year Nick has had to miss the Draft. Last year it was his hip replacement recovery. This year it is the unprecedented virtual draft.
No college coach sends players to the NFL with the frequency of Nick Saban. As Nick watches from home, it is probable Alabama football will set a new team record for first-round picks, while tying the all-time record for first-round picks in a single draft. Six is the number to tie the Miami Hurricanes and it is not outlandish to think former Crimson Tide players could reach that total in the first 20 selections.
