If you’re into random trivia tidbits, AL.com has you covered:
14 Consecutive first rounds have included at least one Alabama player, tied for the longest streak in draft history. The most recent first round without an Alabama player came in 2008. The Giants’ selection of OT Evan Neal at No. 7 and the Lions’ choice of WR Jameson Williams at No. 12 on Thursday night extended the Crimson Tide’s streak. Miami (Fla.) went 14 consecutive first rounds from 1999 through 2008 with a first-round pick.
With Bryce Young and Will Anderson almost sure locks to be first round picks in 2023, Alabama will break the record of the Miami Hurricanes with the most consecutive NFL drafts with a player drafted in the first round.
