Alabama Breaks Canes Draft Record - Most Drafted from One Roster

[firstandcanes]

Records are made to be broken congratulations to Alabama. They changed alot of young lives just like we did

Not our home winning streak, that better last forever.

We didn’t “buy” our players either.

"WHERE'S YOUR PROOF?!?!?," such an insecure fanbase of theirs. They get flustered if you call them out on that or if you call our Saban on his NFL tenure.

It’s the year 2022 how does that make sense?? Was the 01 Miami team counting drafts from 2005?

With all the redshirting rules with corvid and all the transferring rules, you can play college football for like 10 years now lol.

Lame

It's a product of the improvement in scouting services. Harder to be completely wrong about top players. With Alabama winning and developing players, it's harder to miss on a guy with NFL potential than ever. COVID year helps too. They'll have a few more today for sure.

Phidarian Mathis was selected in the second round of the NFL Draft, No. 47 overall, by the Washington Commanders on Friday, and in doing so, helped Alabama football make NFL history.

Mathis became the 39th player taken from Alabama's 2017 team, breaking a tie with 2001 Miami for most draft picks from one college football team. Entering Friday, both the Hurricanes and the Crimson Tide were tied at 38 apiece.

Meh

I'm curious and wanna see a numbers comparison from 2017 bama players drafted in 2021 and 2022 and how many of them may or may not have benefited from the additional covid year, but im too lazy to look.

2001 Miami had only 10 out of their 38 drafted in 2005 and 2006.

 

[Jassid82]

With this transfer portal you can rest assured the record for most first round picks from one school (6) will be broken too in the next 5 yrs. Maybe sooner

 

[PredaCane]

We did it without buying players.

It was bound to happen with Bama sooner or later. That's what happens when you stacked chips annually.

 

[MainLineCane]

In a time period when it seems over 80% of 5 star* athletes go to only about 10 CFB programs it was bound to happen.

Congrats. So what? I really couldn't care less, especially with things being as they are now. No comparison.

What Miami & Butch were able to accomplish and develop even while including numerous 3-2 stars was and will ALWAYS continue to be unparalleled.

Players from that 2001 team will be HOF’ers and one is already a HOF’er. 2 are arguably the top two safeties to ever play the game. Others are in top 5 arguments for their respective positions both college and pros. Can’t think of anything those Bama players from 2017 will be remembered for other than being coached by Saban and whatever college award they have won

 

[Dwinstitles]

I said years ago those boys will break all our records eventually. They will have a first rounder 16 years straight and counting.

 

[Unsider]

How can one respect this?

 

[SinisterCane]

Most of those guys from the 2001 squad that made to league became PRO Bowlers and HOF’ers , Bama players….not so much

 

[canesmang1]

its Gonna be interesting to see how the NIL effects their recruiting if at all

 

[SayWhat]

Well done.

Records are meant to be broken.

Looking forward to being in the conversation again. Actually watching a draft to see what happens.

 

[STtheGreat]

looking for josh jobe in the draft results...

They need an asterisk because of the extra Covid year

That is a good point. Are they counting kids with that extra covid year? SO instead of us only having 5 drafts from the 2001 team. They have 6?
