For Ole Miss, it would have to be Tony Conner. Tony was well on his way to a 1st / 2nd round pick until the Bama game in 2015 when Derrick Henry drove his helmet into his knee while blocking him. Tony likely would have been Ole Miss' 5th 1st round pick from the 2013 class.

Tony ultimately lost his chance at the 1st round when he chose Ole Miss, guaranteed 1st round if he goes to Bama let's be honest here and not a-holes

How did Stringfellow not get drafted? Alex Kozan was one of the best OG AU has ever had and actually probably would have been drafted after his RS freshman year had he been eligible he was that good. His back is jacked up though so I doubt he gets a shot.

The only reason why this makes sense is if he had chosen Bama Henry wouldn't have been able to cut block him and destroy his knee.

Will be a great high school or college position coach. And, soon. Truth is, with all of the studies coming out about head injuries, he may look back in 30 years and be glad he didn't play at the NFL level. Such a nice, intelligent, hard working young man. He has a bright future outside of the NFL.

Jeremy Johnson.

Can't believe no one wanted a preseason Heisman winner.

Lewis Neal. Surprised no 4-3 team took a flyer on him late. Went UDFA to Dallas though.

Drew Mogan. But I knew a ton of teams were waiting on him for UFA. I see him making tge squad and probably having a better career than a no name qb taken as the #2 pick of the draft lol. Sorry Chi fans but you suck for a reason and that pick shows it.

All I remember of Thomas is him getting picked on in the Spring Game.

I get Stringfellow. String is a little slow and never just wowed people.

Lol @ the Bama fan on Conner. If Conner doesn't get hurt, he's a 1st round pick at Ole Miss, Bama, LSU, MSU, Southern Miss, etc.

C Jon Toth. 49ers picked him up though and the kid is no stranger to having to work his way up.

Alex Kozan. Well, I wish he would have been. As a true freshmen in the BCS title game vs FSU he graded out the highest of any player on either team by NFL scouts. He had a sever back injury lifting weights that off-season and missed the entire 2014 season. He was never the same player when he came back. As far as I know he hasn't even signed as an UDFA anywhere yet and it's kind of sad because pre back injury he had potential for a long and great NFL career, now he might not get any kind of career at all.

Still salty?
He would have been a 1st round pick in last yrs draft had he not blown his knee.

The answer for OM is Stringfellow. He may do pretty well at Miami seeing as how they have JLandry then after him it's just some mediocres.

Tony Conner shouldn't have played in that game. He already was hurt, but he told the training staff to let him play because it was Bama. Shame whenever a guy gets punished for trying to be a good teammate. That block wasn't dirty though. Just an unfortunate play.

Adam Griffith.

Knowing Bama's luck with kickers, and since his college career was a little below expectations, I wouldn't be surprised if he went to the NFL and had a Adam Venateiri type career, and make me head scratch for years.

Plus, it would be a plus for AU fans, for they'd probably show the kick 6 every time Griffith lined up for a FG, especially any one around 57 yards.
