Two streaks remain on the line for Alabama football and the NFL draft. Here's who could keep that going next year.

Two streaks remain on the line for Alabama football and the NFL draft. With both Ty Simpson and Kadyn Proctor being selected in the first 32 selections of the 2026 NFL draft , Alabama has had 18 straight drafts with at least one first-round pick and 10 with multiple first-round picks. Which Crimson Tide players could be next to continue Alabama 's streak?

Here are four players who could hear their name called in the first 32 picks of the 2027 NFL draft. DB Zabien Brown A starter since his first game with the Crimson Tide, junior Zabien Brown has cemented himself as one of the top cornerbacks in the SEC. In two seasons, Brown has five interceptions, two of which ended in touchdowns.

He has six pass deflections, 4. 5 tackles-for-loss and 57 total tackles. And, according to Pro Football Focus, he's allowed 47 catches on 93 targets and six touchdowns, three in each of his first two seasons.

Paired with 6-foot-4 cornerback Dijon Lee Jr. , Brown has track speed and is extremely aggressive in both coverage and in rush situations. Brown is a picture-perfect NFL cornerback prospect, one who could hear his name called early if he shines in 2026.
