Alabama football has produced 39 first-round NFL Draft picks in the Nick Saban era since 2009.
Two more will be added Thursday in Evan Neal and Jameson Williams as projected first-rounders. Neal will be called within the first five selections, while Williams may be a late first-rounder. If not for a knee injury in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game, he would have been a top-15 pick. Williams is the best receiver in the class for elite speed, acceleration, explosive plays, versatility, and creating instant offense. He needed one season with the Crimson Tide and totaled 79 catches for 1,572 yards with 15 touchdowns.
