The Alabama Crimson Tide is potentially set to have its first No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick since 1948 in left tackle Evan Neal. As a prospect who's destined to be taken highly in April's draft, he's decided to forgo participating in the NFL Scouting Combine drills.
Young, Anderson and Williams were named members of the AP All-American first team, marking the eleventh time multiple Bama players have earned first team honors since Nick Saban's arrival.
The story of the week was the mismatch Alabama's O-line had taking on the dominant Georgia defense. It looked like they may not be able to overcome the talent of Georgia's defensive front seven. Instead, the story was flipped and this game was won up front where the Crimson Tide offensive line took the challenge head on and gave Heisman candidate quarterback Young time to shine.
The 2021 Bama offensive line has been a mixed bag of success and frustration. Head coach Nick Saban said Monday he sees talent but knows the unit can be better.
Three Alabama players were selected by the Associated Press to its midseason All-American team, quarterback Bryce Young, left tackle Evan Neal and outside linebacker Will Anderson, the most selections of any school.
