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

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

The 2012 Alabama offensive line is a perfect example. One of the best units in college football history. Barrett Jones is probably a college football hall of fame guy. It had two first round picks. And another 2nd and 3rd rounder. But the best pro on that line may end up being Anthony Steen. An undrafted free agent.

^ This as long as none on the O-line are any liability.
Alabama puts their real stock on defense and will take a top DL over OL all day. It's worked pretty good for them so far amirite?
What Bama does well enough is signing solid enough offensive linemen to hold their own. Add solid RB's behind that and you've still got a running game too.
