If Alabama always has NFL caliber OL's, how come none of them make it as pros?

Warmack and Fluker both released by their respective teams. The Kouandjio brothers are bouncing around practice squads, Barrett Jones is backing up someone and numerous others have fallen out the league or hanging on in practice squads. Now Cam Robinson is dropping like a rock in mock drafts.
One would think it's because they're allowed to hold with no fear of punishment, but Tide fans assured that's not the issue so what could it be?

That collectively they are better than the opposing lines they face and work better as a cohesive unit.

And Warmack just signed with the Eagles.
Fluker will sign soon.
Jones retired due to injuries.
The Kouandjio brothers are doing fine. Cyrus is starting in Buffalo.
You missed Anthony Steen. The Dolphins starting center.
James Carpenter. Recently a major contract with the Jets.

But I thought the only reason Henry was better than Leonard was because his o line was better. These shite posts are starting to contradict each other.

Alabama's development of talent and coaching exceeds that of NFL coaching. It's a testament to Bama's coaching that they got so much out of such talentless players.
It's the opposite of LSU. Players languish in mediocre coaching and subpar development at LSU, which is why guys like Odell explode once they are in the NFL. They can finally shake off the shackles of bad coaching at LSU.

In college all you need is above average guys that are experienced and play together as a cohesive unit/ do their jobs and pick up their assignments
Auburn had maybe the best OL in 2010 and only one of them even made an active roster. 1 NFL start from the whole bunch

"Leonard would have gotten 300 yards behind that line"
"That line sucks!"

Because the idea that Alabama has always had an offensive line made up of future Pro Football Hall of Famers is a fantasy that began developing on the Tiger Rant 2-3 years ago.
This fantasy was perpetuated to explain away LSU's lack of success against Alabama over the last 5 years.

Warmack signed with Eagles
Fluker about to sign with Giants
Arie Kouandjio has done a terrific job as a back up in Washington.
Cyrus Kouandjio doing fine in Buffalo
Barrett Jones retired due to injuries
James Carpenter is doing well with the Jets
Ryan Kelly is about to wreck shite for the Colts
Anthony Steen has a great role in Miami
Andre Smith is a former all pro & had a season ending injury to start the year.
This thread wasn't well researched or thought out.

The NFL has stricter standards for steroid testing.

Holding gets flagged there.

Because once they leave Bama and get off the juice they are revealed to be average at best.
Do you remember Toni Mandarich from Michigan State? Same thing.

I see someone doesn't understand how NFL contracts work.

Allowed to hold in college and can't in NFL. Pretty simple. If LSU's line could hold like Bama Fournette wins 3 heismans.

They call holding in the NFL, and deer antler spray isn't dessert at the training table.

Actually, since the combine his stock has risen again. He is back in the top 15 in most mock drafts. He had a really good day there, and alleviated a lot of concerns about speed and footwork.
Spend some time on Reddit's NFL Draft page. Lot of good information, such as draft boards and mocks from dozens of media sources.
