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

I can't believe I'm gonna side with the Auburn guy, but very few offensive linemen from college go pro.
And it's obvious some players peak in college, do not have the frame to grow taller, become stronger and quick enough to block NFL defensive linemen.

The 2010 Auburn offensive line is a good example.

If you couple the post you made about the pass blocking in the NFL with this, I agree with you. Many college offensive schemes aren't conducive to allowing Olinemen to make a transition to the NFL and obviously Olinemen who played in a pro style offense in college are at an advantage over the others. My reference to Jackson's posts was centered more on the vague references to "above average" college players and "physically superior" NFL players. I'm of the opinion that Alabama has so many NFL OL prospects is because they recruit mostly the elite prospects, train them under elite supervision, while using elite facilities.
