Things are about to get busy for more than a dozen former Alabama football players.
The NFL draft, which opens at 7 p.m. CT Thursday in Arlington, Texas, could include the largest Crimson Tide presence in program history. A total of 13 have NFL.com projections that include at least a seventh-round potential. That would break the previous school mark of 10 players taken in last year's draft.
Ohio State holds the record for most in the modern era of the draft with 14 in 2004.
It all gets started Thursday evening with the primetime first round live from the home of the Dallas Cowboys.
