Jumbo Package: Nick Saban, Alabama football will tie NFL Draft record on Thursday

Happy Tuesday, everyone. Old friend Clint Lamb decided to take a look back at the legendary 2017 recruiting class ahead of Thursday’s NFL Draft.

Of those 28 players, 15 of them were on offense with the other 13 on either defense or special teams. Pretty standard, right? Well, here comes the really good part about the offensive signees.

Of the 15, over half of them were first-round draft picks to the NFL.

That group includes two quarterbacks, a running back, three wide receivers and two offensive linemen. Overall, Alabama signed seven offensive players who ranked amongst the top 75 players nationally.
