The Eagles used their first selection in the 2021 NFL Draft on wide receiver DeVonta Smith and their second on offensive lineman Landon Dickerson. Smith is Philadelphia’s leading receiver. Dickerson has spent most of the season at left guard, even though he didn’t begin practicing with his new teammates until Aug. 30 because of a knee injury.

Hurts, Smith and Dickerson are Alabama alumni.

“I think there’s a different aura around Bama guys,” Hurts said on Tuesday, “and how we operate and where we come from and kind of the standard we have for ourselves and what we’ve been around. That’s a testament to a great winning culture at Alabama, coach (Nick) Saban and the foundation he’s laid for all of those athletes to come through. I think we just kind of try to lead by example.”

Here's to the next round of players (both on the field and off) coming through the system.

I'm pretty sure Metchie and Williams aren't eligible for the Pro Bowl because they're both still in college. Williams, however, was an AP 1st Team All-American this season.

Pro bowl. Lol. That hasn't been relevant since Madden was still in the booth.

Here is the key to me. It's a mindset, work ethic and they trust and believe in their coach and his system.
He has built a winning culture at Alabama, and that is hard to beat.

Even after he decides to leave I expect Alabama to win for another 2-3 years until those deteriorate.....assuming it does at all. That will depend on who is brought in. But whoever it is, it won't be Nick Saban so there will have to be some kind of drop off. Just my opinion.

Congrats. Everyone knows Alabama does more with less. Winning the NC every other year with scrubs is tough but very rewarding.

Who the frick would say LSU can’t claim Ja’Marr Chase?

I know it’s been rough for Alabama fans who went from talking about Ja’Marr’s preseason drops at the dinner table to watching him become the best WR in the NFL…but damn.

He really did break yall.

Ever? Or just like this year?

Those goalposts for “NFLU” keep getting narrower by the year, eh?

Oh yeah?! Well how many of LSU’s offensive linemen who are 6’4” and play Center for the Colts made the pro bowl this year?! That’s what I thought!!1!

Anyone who says Bama can't claim Jalen. If they are being consistent
