The 2020 NFL Scouting Combine is set to get underway this week. And there is a long list of college football’s top prospects hoping to make an impression on league decision-makers and draft pundits, including 10 former members of the Crimson Tide.

As a result, we decided to break down each of those 10 players and what fans should expect as the weigh-ins, on-field drills, interviews and other events get started.

Tua Tagovailoa won’t be participating in drills at the Combine, but it will still be an important week for the Alabama quarterback.

The status of Tagovailoa’s hip will be a heavy talking point among NFL evaluators, and it’ll be even more of a talking point with teams behind closed doors. All signs point to the injury making excellent progress.

It should be noted that Tagovailoa’s height (6-0) and hand size (10 inches) both checked major boxes on Monday as weigh-ins began.
