No program in college football produces NFL talent like the Alabama Crimson Tide, and two decades of Tuscaloosa products prove it every Sunday in the fall.
Nick Saban put an absurd number of players in the league, and the pipeline has not slowed under Kalen DeBoer. The program announced Thursday that Alabama has led the nation in players on NFL rosters for 10 consecutive seasons.

From stars who are now longtime NFL veterans like Jonathan Allen, Derrick Henry and Trevon Diggs to new age guys like Germie Bernard, Ty Simpson and Parker Brailsford, the Tide is very much all over the league with a mind-boggling 72 players on NFL rosters as Week 1 gets set to arrive and groups have been finalized.
As long as the Alabama Crimson Tide football program keeps getting talented players in the building, it’s tough to see this streak dying anytime soon with more players being drafted out of Tuscaloosa each and every season.
