Where Alabama Ranks Among Schools Represented in NFL Top 100 Players of 2026

Alabama's dominance in the NFL is no secret, as it has produced the most players in the league for nine consecutive seasons.

For the last 15 years, the league has consistently included these Crimson Tide standouts in the annual "Top 100 NFL Players" list. This ranking is voted on by the players themselves.

Alabama tallied eight products in the NFL Top 100 Players of 2026 list, which is the most by any school in the country.

Here's a look at the Crimson Tide representatives, a tally of other schools featured on the prestigious list and the full top 100.

Alabama Players on the NFL Top 100 List:

9. Jahmyr Gibbs, Running Back, Detroit Lions
10. Pat Surtain II, Cornerback, Denver Broncos
12. Will Anderson Jr., Defensive End, Houston Texans
15. Derrick Henry, Running Back, Baltimore Ravens
56. Jalen Hurts, Quarterback, Philadelphia Eagles
70. Xavier McKinney, Safety, Green Bay Packers
74. Josh Jacobs, Running Back, Green Bay Packers

The NFL also provided a list of the first 10 players to miss the cut. Alabama products and Detroit Lions standouts Jameson Williams (No. 106) and Brian Branch (No. 108) are included.

Disclaimer: Numerous players on the list attended multiple FBS schools. Those who started 10-plus games for at least one season before transferring will have both programs they attended listed, unless they explicitly said in an interview that they only claim one college over the other.
