With the NFL season officially over, as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, the 2021 NFL draft order has been set.

College football players from across the country await to see where their professional careers will begin, and NFL fans look forward to seeing who could be the next star in their teams.

Luke Easterling of USA TODAY put together a mock draft that has a record-breaking eight Alabama stars in the first round.
