Center Ryan Kelly was the only player with Alabama football roots selected in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft. But one is all it takes to keep a streak going, and when the Indianapolis Colts chose the Crimson Tide All-American with the 18th selection last year, the pick made it 13 drafts in a row with a player from an Alabama high school or college going in the first round.
The streak will grow to 14 straight years on Thursday, when the first round of the 82nd NFL Draft is held in Philadelphia.
