Four former Alabama WRs ranked among NFL’s best pass catchers

A handful of former Crimson Tide stars were named among the best wide receivers in the NFL for the upcoming 2023 season.

There are former Alabama Football players at just about every position in the NFL. The Crimson Tide program is known for producing top-tier NFL talent across the board, but especially at defensive back, running back and wide receiver.

Pro Football Focus’ Sam Monson recently ranked the top-32 wide receivers in the NFL and the list has four former Alabama stars in it.

Wide receivers are a unique positional group in that their talent must be paired with a great situation to be considered good. For example, Jaylen Waddle is the highest-rated former Alabama on this list, because the Dolphins front office has put in effort to build the offense. Former Biletnikoff Award recipient, Jerry Jeudy, is not on this list at all. However, that’s not because of his lack of skill, he’s just had an unfortunate quarterback situation in Denver to begin his career.
