Alabama players in the NFL

Post by farmer »

Last night during the Chargers game I noticed they didn't have on their team any more was former Alabama O Tackle DJ Fluker. I then looked up and he is a backup for the Giants. While doing this I found out 10 Alabama players were drafted in 2017 but only 39 started the season on NFL roster. Many of them are backups. I just thought that this number would be higher. Some are playing very well but a majority seems to be content in cashing in. While not playing to the level they did in college. Like offensive tackles the can't miss like Fluker and back with the Bengals but moved to guard Andre Smith.

Just something to ponder as the gap with other schools is just not there. As the players move up to the NFL.

1. As they are tied with LSU with 39 players.
3. USC 37
4. Tie Clemson and Florida at 36
6. Florida State 35
7. Miami 34
8. The Ohio State University 33
9. Tie Oklahoma and Georgia 31
