There aren’t a lot of college football programs who could say they would be able to build an entire roster just based on former players who are currently playing in the NFL.
Alabama, on the other hand, would not only be able to field an entire roster, it’s team could compete for a playoff spot — and maybe even more. As we continue through the offseason, Roll Tide Wire decided to look at what the all-Alabama NFL team would look like.
The rules are simple: 1) the player has to currently be on an NFL roster and 2) it has to make sense from a roster management standpoint. For example, there’s no point in having seven running backs, which is how many Alabama has in the league, on the roster.
The last rule is that the number has to come out to 25 players on each side of the football. That, on top of the three specialists — kicker, punter and long-snapper, would add up 53 players, which is exactly the number that final NFL rosters come to.

So, let’s get this all-Alabama NFL roster underway, shall we?
