Before any Alabama football fan is panicked by the headline, we need to explain – what we know and what we don’t know. No one from the NFL league office has said the summer, supplemental Draft will be expanded in 2020. Even more importantly, there has been no public communication from any current Alabama football player about applying for an NFL waiver.
The NFL Supplemental Draft began in 1977 and since then only 46 players have been selected by NFL teams. The most players drafted in any one Supplemental Draft was in 1989 when five former college players were drafted.
