The Alabama Crimson Tide football program has a new accomplishment to tout to recruits across the nation that’s sure to catch their attention.

The Tide had seven players drafted in the 2016 NFL Draft as well as eight players sign undrafted free agent contracts with NFL teams. Those 15 players add to the many former Crimson Tide players already in the NFL, giving the school an amazing 50 total players currently listed on an NFL roster. That number represents the most of any school in the nation.

If anyone doubts Alabama has become the premier NFL factory under head coach Nick Saban, they are sadly mistaken.
