Alabama's 2017 team breaks NFL Draft record
Jon Cooper | 3 days ago
Alabama has had a rather quiet 2022 NFL Draft thus far.
As things stand right now in the 5th round, Alabama has seen 7 players drafted from the 2021 team. Evan Neal was the highest drafted Alabama player at No. 7 overall to the New York Giants, while Jameson Williams was also a first-round pick at No. 12 overall to the Detroit Lions.
However, Phidarian Mathis became Alabama’s record breaking pick in the second round, according to the Tuscaloosa News. Following Mathis’ selection, the 2017 Alabama football team broke the record for the most draft picks off of one team. Mathis became the 39th player from that roster get drafted. That officially beat 2001 Miami for the record.
So, while Georgia has completely stolen all the headlines this year — and rightfully so, Alabama quietly set the record for the most players drafted off of one roster. The 2017 Alabama team won the national title 26-23 in overtime against Georgia.
Players who were also drafted from the 2017 team include Jalen Hurts, Calvin Ridley, Jerry Jeudy, Quinnen Williams, Mac Jones, Najee Harris, DeVonta Smith and Tua Tagovailoa, among others.
Alabama later pushed the record to 40 players after running back Brian Robinson, Jr. was picked by the Washington Commanders. Robinson was a freshmen during the 2017 season.

Classical example of new money vs. old money.
Some people are used to living at the top. Others? Not so much.

Posting facts = insecure. LSU logic at its finest. Just like the logic 2020* didn't count because LSU sucked and embarrassed themselves with one of the worst seasons in college football history coming off a championship season.

Breaking an all-time record in the midst of 6 championships in 13 seasons is the exact opposite of "trying to stay relevant". Try again, LSU fan.

Its hard to get all the 5*s when the NCAA lets everyone else buy players too.

Wasn't hard last recruiting cycle. Highest average star rating ever recorded.

An Aubie talking about paying players is priceless. Let’s just say that we have made better investments.
