The SF 49ers payed close attention to the 2021 CFB Playoff championship game, and these five players from Alabama and Ohio State impressed.

There’s a good chance the SF 49ers will select players from Alabama or Ohio State in the upcoming 2021 NFL Draft.

Perhaps as early as Round 1 where the Niners currently own the No. 12 overall pick.

General manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan were able to add the last bit of film available for all eligible prospects from both schools participating in the 2021 College Football Playoff National Championship game, which went Alabama’s way early and often by the score of 52-24.
