After defeating No. 3 Georgia, No. 2 Alabama is now the only SEC program to remian undefeated through four weeks. The Crimson Tide holds claim to three top-ten Heisman hopefuls and the program seems primed to pump out plenty of first-round talent into the 2021 NFL draft.
Nick Saban is certainly no stranger to having former players selected in the first round, and CBS Sports’ Ryan Wilson seems to have taken notice. Wilson’s latest 2021 NFL mock draft includes seven Alabama stars in the first round.
Here’s where Wilson predicts the Crimson Tide products will land:
29. Pittsburgh Steelers – Alex Leatherwood, OT
Leatherwood has stepped up big time into a lead role on the Alabama offensive line. After losing Jedrick Wills to the 2020 NFL draft, Leatherwood is now the go-to tackle. Wilson calls this pick potentil “insurance” in case they are unable to resign Villanueva.
