Breakdown of former Tide players that have been drafted in last decade

Over the years, the Alabama Crimson Tide have sent some of college football’s best players to the NFL. There is no denying the fact that former Alabama head coach Nick Saban was one of the best coaches and player developers that the sport has ever seen. If a player wanted to reach their full potential, Saban oftentimes would get that out of them and help them reach the NFL.

It goes without saying that the Crimson Tide are well represented in the NFL. There are former Alabama players on 27 of the 32 NFL teams. That is saying quite a bit. Needless to say, a number of players have been drafted from the Crimson Tide to NFL teams over the years.

Roll Tide Wire provides a year-by-year breakdown of which former Alabama players were drafted into the NFL in the last decade.
