Latest 2021 NFL mock draft has 5 Alabama players in first round

Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox predicts five Alabama players will be drafted in the first round of the 2021 NFL draft.

Sure, the 2020 NFL draft concluded under a month ago, but you can never be too prepared for next year. Right?

Way-too-early mock drafts may not be entirely accurate when looking at who the picks actually are when the draft actually takes place. However, these mock drafts do give us an idea of who to watch out for in the 2020 college football season, or even a guide for fans looking to expand their knowledge of players outside of their fanbase.

There is another reason for these mock drafts, and that’s to see how many players from your favorite team could be a potential first-round draft pick.

Alabama fans, you’re in for a treat as Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox predicts five current members of the Crimson Tide will be selected in the first round.

Let’s see the projected landing spots of those five players according to Knox:

22. Indianapolis Colts – LaBryan Ray, DL

LaBryan Ray is a name that Alabama fans heard more of in 2019, but may not be all too familiar with quite yet. Expect Ray to big a big presence physically and as a leader on the defensive line in 2020.
