Since 2009, the University of Alabama football program has had seven offensive linemen taken in the first round of the NFL Draft — including five that went as offensive tackles.
Despite Jedrick Wills being the latest name to enter and Alex Leatherwood expected to be a first-rounder in the 2021 venue, keep all eyes on Evan Neal as the Crimson Tide’s next elite tackle. Nick Saban has been known for his production of running backs, wide receivers, defensive backs and linebackers in the National Football League, but he has also done very well with getting offensive linemen to the next level.
