Numerous Crimson Tide stars are planning on entering the NFL by way of the 2021 NFL draft, most of those players will likely be selected on the first night.
Two offensive playmakers, wide receiver DeVonta Smith and running back Najee Harris, suffered late-season injuries.
Harris suffered a tweaked ankle, which some worried would hurt his draft value.
Smith injured his finger during the College Football Playoff, which is a crucial body part to a wide receiver.
However, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported today that Smith’s finger is healing well and Harris’ ankle has been checked out and he’s good to go.
There’s no telling where they will be drafted, but both are considered to be at or near the top of their respective positional classes entering the draft.
Two positive medical reports for two #Bama top prospects after a visit to Indy:
— RB Najee Harris’ ankle checked out well with no concerns & shouldn't affect his stock, sources say.
— WR Devonta Smith’s dislocated finger with torn ligaments is healing fine with no issues ahead.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) April 14, 2021
