The NFL is looking a bit crimson.
The number of Crimson Tide alumni who have played in the NFL has now increased for six straight seasons.
In 2016, 38 former Alabama players appeared in at least one NFL regular-season game – one fewer than had played in 2015. In 2017, the number rose to 44, breaking the school’s single-season NFL record of 40 in 1987. That season featured a player strike and three weeks of football with replacement players.
In 2018, the Alabama alumni who played in the NFL reached 52. It jumped to 62 in 2019 and rose to 64 in 2020 and 68 in 2021. When Chicago Bears offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood and Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams made their 2022 debuts on Dec. 4, they pushed Alabama’s participation total to a new high mark of 69, with Ragland making the Crimson Tide the first college program with 70 former players on the field in the same NFL season – 35 years after Southern Cal became the first program with 60.
