Legendary head coach Nick Saban announced his retirement this week. The longtime Alabama coach had tremendous success at the college level. He also helped produce a plethora of NFL prospects over the years at his coaching stops.
Saban coached at Alabama from 2008 to 2023, and most of the first-rounders come from that era. There were 43 Saban-coached players selected in the first round of the NFL draft between the 2009 and 2023 editions. He was also responsible for the first-round picks selected from LSU between the 2001 and 2005 drafts, as well as Michigan State from 1996 to 2000.
Here are all 49 players selected in the first round who finished their college careers being coached by Nick Saban at his various stops, from the most recent to the very first.
