Alabama Football Draft Streak Continues
14 May
Summary
- Alabama boasts an 18-year NFL Draft first-round pick streak.
- Two Alabama players participated in the NBA Draft Combine.
- Three Tide players are projected as top NFL Draft prospects for next year.
Alabama's impressive streak of at least one player selected in the first round of the NFL Draft has now reached a remarkable 18 consecutive years, a record-breaking achievement.
This past NFL Draft saw Kadyn Proctor and Ty Simpson selected consecutively at picks #12 and #13, respectively. The Crimson Tide's consistent success in producing top-tier talent is further evidenced by having at least one player picked within the top 11 overall every year from 2018 to 2023.
Moreover, this draft night success is now extending to the collegiate basketball program. For the upcoming NBA Draft, point guard Labaron Philon and wing/guard Amari Allen are participating in the NBA Draft Combine. Philon is projected as a potential top-15 pick, while Allen could be selected within the top 30.
Looking ahead to the 2027 NFL Draft, Alabama already has three highly touted prospects poised for first-round selections: wide receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams, cornerback Zabien Brown, and safety Keon Sabb. Their exceptional skills and potential strongly suggest the Crimson Tide's first-round draft streak will continue unabated.
