Ozzie Newsome to make Alabama's favorite NFL Draft pick

Ozzie Newsome, the general manager and executive vice president of the Baltimore Ravens, will make the call on which player is the sixth pick in the NFL Draft on Thursday night.

It seems fitting for Newsome to make the sixth pick. His Pro Football Hall of Fame career didn't start as a sixth pick; he was the 23rd choice in the 1978 NFL Draft. But the sixth pick has produced a bonanza of talent from the state of Alabama, and Newsome was a prep standout at Colbert County before starring collegiate for the Alabama Crimson Tide.
