The University of Alabama is known for being a college football powerhouse, so it's not surprising that with 10 picks in the 2021 draft, Alabama now has had 51 picks over the last 5 drafts -- tying USC (1973-77) for the most NFL draft picks over any five-year span since 1967.
While current Alabama stars were getting drafted into the NFL this past weekend, former Alabama stars were getting their degrees. Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, free agent running back Bo Scarbrough and Philadelphia Eagles second-round pick Landon Dickerson were among those who got to walk the commencement stage.
