The 2025 NFL Draft is finally here!

The terms "NFL Draft" and "Alabama football" more or less go hand in hand. This status is proven simply by the fact that the Crimson Tide has had at least one former player be selected in the first round of the annual event for the last 16 years. The previous record of 14 years was held by Miami from 1995-2008.

Alabama had nine players invited to the 2025 NFL Combine and has two other players hoping to be selected from April 24-26. Quarterback Jalen Milroe, offensive guard Tyler Booker and linebacker Jihaad Campbell are at the draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

• James Burnip, punter

• Kneeland Hibbett, long snapper

Denver Broncos selected Florida punter Jeremy Crawshaw with the 216th overall pick and the final selection of the sixth round. Crawshaw is the first punter taken in this year's draft and Alabama's James Burnip is still on the board.

TIM SMITH SELECTED NO. 190 OVERALL BY INDIANAPOLIS COLTS

With this pick, the Crimson Tide continues a 14-year streak with at least seven draft picks.

Smith committed to the Crimson Tide as a junior in high school less than one year after the creation of the transfer portal. Smith’s first season came in 2020, as head coach Nick Saban and company went undefeated and won the program’s 18th National Championship.

Smith was a reserve in 2020 but upgraded a tiny bit the next season as he was the starting defensive lineman for two games. In the 2022 season, the junior started in roughly half of the games, but despite the lack of consistent time on the field, he stayed with the Crimson Tide and didn’t enter the transfer portal.

Smith’s return for the 2023 season increased his impact a ton as he started in 10 games. This past season, he started in every game and played a key role in clogging the lanes and opening holes for the Crimson Tide’s swarm defense under defensive coordinator Kane Wommack and head coach Kalen DeBoer.

Smith probably could’ve earned more starting reps much earlier had he joined the trend that is the transfer portal. However, he decided to stay and his gradual increase in playing time at Alabama has helped him become an intriguing prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft.

New England Patriots selected Miami kicker Andres Borregales 182nd overall and Baltimore Ravens picked Arizona kicker Tyler Loop at No. 186. These are the first kickers to go in the draft and Alabama's Graham Nicholson is still on the board.

Alabama players still available at the end of round 5:

• James Burnip, punter
• CJ Dippre, tight end
• Tim Smith, defensive lineman
• Graham Nicholson, kicker
• Kneeland Hibbett, long snapper

Cleveland Browns select Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders 144th overall. The Browns, whose best receiver is former Alabama standout and Pro Bowler Jerry Jeudy, are in need of a quarterback. Sanders is the son of NFL legend and Colorado head coach Deion Sanders, who has a close relationship to Nick Saban.

Minnesota Vikings select Georgia EDGE Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins with the 139th overall pick. Ingram-Dawkins joins a pass-rush that features former Alabama standout and 2024 first-round pick Dallas Turner.

ROBBIE OUZTS SELECTED NO. 175 OVERALL BY SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

The Alabama tight end/fullback and quarterback Jalen Milroe are teammates once again. It's worth mentioning that the Seattle Seahawks labeled the "Swiss army knife" as just a fullback in their press release.

Ouzts, who spent four seasons in Tuscaloosa, can line up in the backfield or on the line of scrimmage. It's a physical role, to be sure, regardless of which of those ways a team may decide to use him in the NFL (if not both).

While not a more traditional (or, perhaps in this context, modern) receiving tight end, Ouzts can affect games there on shorter routes, including in red zone situations. His physical attributes and blocking capabilities do bring some versatility to the table, as he can contribute on run and pass plays.

Alabama players still available at the end of round 4:

• James Burnip, punter
• CJ Dippre, tight end
• Robbie Ouzts, tight end
• Tim Smith, defensive lineman
• Graham Nicholson, kicker
• Kneeland Hibbett, long snapper

QUE ROBINSON SELECTED NO. 143 OVERALL BY DENVER BRONCOS

Robinson didn't find a consistent defensive role until his fifth and final year with the Alabama Crimson Tide. But the level of competition he faced with the Crimson Tide in practice in the first four years of his career was a good substitute for live action.

Being able to go against elite college football offensive lineman like Evan Neal, JC Latham, Alex Leatherwood or three-time NFL Pro Bowler Landon Dickerson in each day of practice gave Robinson confidence by the time he was asked to take on a starting role in 2024.

In the first four years of his career, Robinson only saw action on a combined 124 defensive snaps, according to Pro Football Focus. In his final year, that jumped to 246. With a larger opportunity in his final year, Robinson looked to make the most of what he wanted to prove earlier in his career.

In 2024, Robinson was a productive pass rusher, recording four sacks. But in his first four years when he wasn't seeing the field defensively, Robinson found a role on special teams, which could also be critical to him finding a role on a NFL team. He played 565 total snaps on special teams in his first four years with Alabama.

MALACHI MOORE SELECTED NO. 130 OVERALL BY NEW YORK JETS

Moore burst onto the scene as a true freshman starter at Alabama in 2020 and got to be part of a national-championship winning team that season. He could have gone to the NFL last season, but chose to return to Tuscaloosa for one more year with the Crimson Tide and the chance at a national title.

While he fell short of the team goal, Moore was a major leadership piece for Alabama over the last two seasons, getting selected a team captain by whis teammates in 2023 and 2024. As an in-state player, Moore loved Alabama and was one of the players that helped hold the team together during the transition from Nick Saban to Kalen DeBoer.

Moore dealt with injuries throughout his career at Alabama but wanted to be out there giving his all for his team. He had season-ending surgery after the regular season and did not play in the Crimson Tide's bowl game against Michigan. Because he was recovering, Moore did not participate in drills at the NFL combine, but he did perform at a private pro day in early April with 18 NFL teams attending per his mother's Instagram.

Atlanta Falcons select Oklahoma safety Billy Bowman Jr. with the 118th overall pick. Bowman will join former Alabama safety DeMarcco Hellams.

Tennessee Titans select Florida wide receiver Chimere Dike with the first pick of the fourth round (No. 103 overall). Dike will share a receiving room with former Alabama standout Calvin Ridley.

Day 2 (Rounds 2-3 begins at 6 p.m. CT):

JALEN MILROE SELECTED NO. 92 OVERALL BY SEATTLE SEAHAWKS.

Former Alabama head coach and current ESPN College GameDay analyst Nick Saban broke the media rule of cheering as he clapped for Milroe as his name was called by Shaun Alexander––a prominent Crimson Tide and Seahawks running back during the 2000s.

"He's going to give the Seahawks an element of offense that nobody else in this draft can give anybody," Saban said during the ABC broadcast. "This guy is fast. He's explosive. And look, he can throw the ball. He's got a strong arm. He's a great deep-ball thrower. He just needs a little refinement and consistency in the passing game and he can be an outstanding player.

"Lot of big plays. The thing I always preached to him about was, 'Jalen, you make enough big plays. How about let's eliminate some of the bad plays? The sacks, the fumbles, the interceptions.' Because those are all drive-stopping plays and you make enough good plays."

The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Iowa running back Kaleb Johnson with the 83rd overall pick. The Steelers could really use a quarterback and Milroe is still on the board.

The Detroit Lions selected Arkansas wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa with the 70th overall pick. Former Alabama and current Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold announced the pick, TeSlaa joins a receiving core that includes the aforementioned Jameson Williams.

The Philadelphia Eagles selected Texas safety Andrew Mukuba with the the 64th overall pick. This marked the end of the second round and Milroe is still on the board.

The Washington Commanders selected Ole Miss cornerback Trey Amos with the 61st overall pick. Amos was one of the many Crimson Tide players to transfer after Nick Saban announced his retirement. Saban said that Amos is "a really a good player. He played dime for us for a whole year, so he played on all third down situations. He was a starter, we just had two draft pick corners ahead of him. Good change of direction. Can redirect. Very instinctive. I thought he might be speed deficient, but he ran well. He's got good ball skills, and I think this guy's got the speed to play."

The Detroit Lions selected Georgia offensive guard Tate Ratledge with the 57th overall pick. Ratledge will help open holes for former Alabama running back Jahmyr Gibbs and also give quarterback Jared Goff more time to throw the ball to deep-threat wide receiver Jameson Williams, who had his fifth year option exercised after trade rumors.

The Arizona Cardinals selected Michigan cornerback Will Johnson with the 47th overall pick. Johnson's new destination makes Milroe the final NFL Draft attendee in the green room.

The New York Jets selected LSU tight end Mason Taylor with the 42nd overall pick. Former Alabama head coach and current ESPN College GameDay analyst Nick Saban said during the ABC broadcast that Taylor is "the biggest recruiting mistake we ever made."

New Orleans Saints select Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough with the 40th overall pick. He's the first of numerous quarterbacks expected to go tonight, including Milroe.

Cleveland Browns select Ohio State running back Quinshon Judkins with their second pick of the second round. The Browns could use a quarterback and Jalen Milroe is still on the board. Judkins will play on an offense with former Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy, who is coming off his first Pro Bowl season.

Miami Dolphins select Arizona offensive guard Jonah Savaiinaea with the 37th overall pick. He will help protect former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Houston Texans select Iowa wide receiver Jayden Higgins with the 34th overall pick. He joins a receiving room with former Alabama wide receiver John Metchie III, who will compete for a higher spot on the depth chart.

This will be updated with draft-related news about Crimson Tide prospects and also former Alabama standouts already in the NFL.

Day 1 (Round 1):

Jihaad Campbell: 31st overall (first round) by the Philadelphia Eagles; After leading Alabama in tackles in 2024, Campbell was named to the First Team All-SEC (Associated Press second-team selection) was a Second Team All-American (FWAA, USA Today, The Athletic) and was semifinalist for Bednarik Award and Butkus Award.

Nick Saban's thoughts on Campbell (via ABC broadcast): "This guy is a great person. People have to understand about Jihaad he played with his hand in the dirt in high school. He went to IMG, came out, was an outside 'backer. Moved to inside 'backer and got better and better and better and I thought had a fantastic year this year."

"He has tremendous range and speed. He can play in or out. He never played behind the line before we moved him two years ago because of injuries. But he's developed into a first-round inside guy. He can be an edge rusher. I just love this pick. I really do. This guy lit up at the combine.

"The only reason they're getting him here is because people had some injury questions because of shoulder surgery and might not be ready for camp. But if you're the Philadelphia Eagles, what do you care? You're going to pick a guy that's going to be there maybe for the next 10 years for you and be a really good player. When he does get healthy, he's going to add pass-rush for them."

Campbell after declaring for the NFL Draft: "I am forever grateful to The University of Alabama, Coach Saban and Coach DeBoer for providing me with an opportunity to play the game I love at the highest levels and I am blessed to be a part of the Crimson Tide family. This Bama brotherhood and the bonds I have built with all my teammates is truly special. I also want to thank Miss Mary for all her help with academics, may she rest in peace. These last three years in Tuscaloosa have molded me into a better player and a better man, and this experience has been special and something that I will never forget."

Tyler Booker: 12th overall (first round) by the Dallas Cowboys; Booker is a permanent Alabama captain and was named to the 2024 All-SEC First Team by the Associated Press and the conference coaches. He was also tabbed as a 2024 First Team All-American by CBS Sports and USA Today and a Second Team All-American by AFCA, Associated Press, FWAA, The Sporting News and Walter Camp, ESPN.Com and The Athletic.

Nick Saban's thoughts on Booker: "This guy is a fantastic young man. I mean, [he's] smart and you talk about a good leader. Very physical, very tough. Gets movement in the run. That's why people like him so much. This guy's got tremendous muscle mass, which I think is very important to being a power player in the NFL."

Booker on Alabama legacy: "To be able to come to the University of Alabama and be a captain is a huge honor, especially when you look at some of the previous captains," Booker said. "To be named the team's MVP by my teammates is a huge honor as well in just being a part of the transition from coach [Nick] Saban to coach [Kalen] DeBoer.

"I've always really focused on what my legacy would be when I leave the University of Alabama and I felt some of the stuff I've done have definitely added to my legacy. Of course there are more things I'd like to add to my legacy but it's been very special. I wouldn't change anything that's happened this year for anything because it's going to make me who I am as a man in the future and my teammates as well. I'm very blessed for all of the ups and downs that we've had this season."
