The Oakland Raiders will become the Las Vegas Raiders in the offseason and will boast two first-round picks in the 2020 NFL Draft. First and foremost, the Raiders own the 12th overall pick and have plenty of directions they could go with the selection. Before delving into who they could add to the roster, it’s […]

The Indianapolis Colts went 7-9 in 2019. While that record is nothing to write home about, it’s a lot better than many were expecting. Right before the start of the regular season, Andrew Luck retired. That left the team without their star quarterback. Suddenly, a team that was expected to be a serious Super Bowl […]

The Alabama Crimson Tide managed to take care of business against the Michigan Wolverines in the Vrbo Citrus Bowl. They now anxiously await the future of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. There has been plenty of speculation regarding whether he will stick around for his senior season or enter the 2020 NFL Draft. He has now taken […]

The Seattle Seahawks have a great foundation. On offense, Seattle has a MVP-caliber quarterback, two solid options at running back and developing options at receivers. On defense, a great group of linebackers, Jadaveon Clowney and newly-acquired Quandre Diggs give the team some hope for the future. However, despite being 11-3 on the season, the Seahawks […]

The Oakland Raiders have gradually fallen out of the playoff race and can begin to look forward to next year. With that in mind, the Raiders should consider taking Alabama linebacker Dylan Moses in the 2020 NFL Draft. Before the season began, Oakland signed Brandon Marshall, Vontaze Burfict, and Will Compton at inside linebacker. Marshall […]

There isn’t much to complain about in B-More. The Baltimore Ravens, at 12-2, are sitting pretty, also known as the top of the AFC. They are one of the NFL’s most entertaining teams, have superstars on both sides of the ball, are young, and have the likely MVP in second-year quarterback Lamar Jackson. However, not […]

There was a recent documentary created that featured Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots and Nick Saban of the Alabama Crimson Tide. While speaking about the documentary, Dont’a Hightower revealed what makes Belichick and Saban special. “I thought it was really good,” Hightower said, transcribed by NESN. “I thought that it spoke a lot about […]

The Detroit Lions have plenty of needs to improve their roster for next season and they have to consider taking a wide receiver. Given that, the Lions and Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy would be an intriguing match. In Matt Patricia’s second season as head coach, the Lions currently have a 3-8-1 record and is […]

The Green Bay Packers can’t fix their leaky defense now — at least in terms of personnel — but they can come April. With an impressive crop of defenders ready to enter the NFL, the 2020 NFL Draft will offer the Packers a shot at getting another defensive playmaker on a rookie contract. Who could […]

The New York Jets are having a typical Jets’ season. They had high expectations coming in after adding some pieces in free agency. Those hopes were ended after becoming the first team in NFL history to lose twice in a season to teams that are 0-7 or worse. At 4-8, they should have their sights […]

Tua Tagovailoa might go down as one of the best collegiate quarterbacks in history. He will enter the NFL draft with 87 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in his career at Alabama. However, Tagovailoa’s collegiate career was cut short as a result of a hip injury against Mississippi State. It will keep him sidelined for an extended […]

The wide receiver talent in the 2020 draft class is extremely deep. Players like Tee Higgins and CeeDee Lamb are climbing up draft boards but it is hard to go against Jerry Jeudy as the best receiving prospect in the draft. The New York Giants will have a top-five pick and they could be eyeing […]

The New Orleans Saints are poised to make another deep playoff run but there is a glaring weakness in their secondary. In light of that, Trevon Diggs and the Saints could be an ideal fit in the 2020 NFL Draft. By having a 10-2 record, New Orleans is currently projected to have the 30th overall […]

Alabama is once again one of the most dominant teams in college football. However, they have a loss. And that loss has dropped them out of the College Football Playoffs at the moment. That being said, not everyone agrees with that decision. Former Florida quarterback (and current analyst) Tim Tebow, believes Alabama deserves to be […]

The Green Bay Packers can add to their defense even more. After compiling 69 tackles and 8.5 sacks in 2017 as a sophomore for the national champion Alabama Crimson Tide, interior defensive lineman Raekwon Davis hasn’t taken the “next step” from a statistical perspective. Davis came to Tuscaloosa with high expectations — only natural for […]

During the 2014 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens selected a linebacker named C.J. Mosley out of Alabama with the No. 17 pick. He spent five seasons in Baltimore and landed in the Pro Bowl four times. It might be time for the Ravens to add another Alabama linebacker in 2020. Led by Ray Lewis and […]

The Miami Dolphins lack reliable options at wide receiver and will have plenty of draft picks to address the position. Among their options, Henry Ruggs III would be an intriguing option for the Dolphins in the 2020 NFL Draft. There’s no surprise that Miami will be selecting near the top of the draft in next […]

The Detroit Lions have had an extremely disappointing season and the defense has been underwhelming in Matt Patricia’s second season as head coach. In light of that, the Lions would be wise to target Alabama’s Trevon Diggs in the 2020 NFL Draft. In spite of Patricia being a defensive-oriented coach, Detroit’s defense has been utterly […]

When Tua Tagovailoa suffered a devastating hip injury for Alabama, many questioned if he would be ready in time for the 2020 NFL Draft. After undergoing surgery, Tagovailoa could throw for NFL teams before the draft takes place, per Ian Rapoport. Based on his rehab program, there is a chance Tua Tagovailoa could actually throw for […]

Alabama star wide receiver Jerry Jeudy will command a lot of attention once the college football season is over. One of the teams that would make a lot of sense for the talented player is the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacksonville, currently 4-6 and last in the AFC South, is lacking star power on the offensive side […]

Tua Tagovailoa’s season-ending hip injury did not just put a wrinkle into Alabama’s championship aspirations. It brought questions of his worth as a first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, where he was once considered to be the lock to go No. 1 overall. Tagovailoa’s hip dislocation and subsequent surgery is not a pleasant sight […]

There are two elite wide receivers in college football this season. CeeDee Lamb is a top of the line prospect out of Oklahoma, but Alabama’s Jerry Jeudy might be the best receiver prospect in years. Jeudy is expected to go in the top five of the draft. The New York Jets could use him more […]

Alabama quarterback and the presumptive number top pick in the upcoming NFL draft, Tua Tagovailoa had been banged up for much of the season with an ankle injury but has now been lost for the season after dislocating his hip on Saturday. While this is disappointing news for Bama fans and proponents of paying college […]

Alabama’s legend Nick Saban is a tough-nosed coach who doesn’t smile a whole lot, but according to Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs, he does have a sense of humor. Raider RB Josh Jacobs shared a story on Nick Saban’s go-to jokes while he was at Alabama: “I caught like five passes in a row, […]

On October 22nd, 2018, Jerry Jones and his Dallas Cowboys shocked the NFL world by trading a first-round pick to the Oakland Raiders for wide receiver Amari Cooper. Many dubbed the Raiders as the immediate winners of the deal. At the time, Cooper’s career arch had turned from star to potential bust. But Dallas saw […]

Many college coaches have become frustrated with players leaving early for the NFL Draft when they don’t view it as being in their long-term interest. Every year, many players declare for the draft after their junior seasons and end up going undrafted. Among the coaches getting frustrated is Alabama head coach Nick Saban. Speaking at […]

Alabama has become a farm system for NFL teams. No college program produces as many NFL-ready players as the Crimson Tide. Seemingly every year the Crimson Tide have a string of early draft picks, and 2019 won’t be any different. Alabama had its annual pro day Tuesday, and everyone around the league flocked to it. […]

The early favorites for the 2019 Heisman Trophy are no surprise whatsoever. Superstar quarterbacks Trevor Lawrence of Clemson and Tua Tagovailoa of Alabama lead the pack of contenders, coming in with odds of +350 and +500, respectively, according to BetOnline.ag. Also a leading preseason candidate? Jalen Hurts, who was beaten out by Tagovailoa last season […]

In 2004, the University of Miami set an NFL Draft record. Six Hurricanes were selected in the first round, a record that has since gone untouched. That could change in 2019. The University of Alabama Crimson Tide are threatening to at least tie Miami’s record. As Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk explains: Alabama […]

Transitioning to the NFL can pose a bit of a challenge for some players that were successful at the college level. Fortunately, there is a sense of familiarity for Miami Dolphins cornerback Minkah Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick spent his college years under the tutelage of Alabama head coach Nick Saban. According to Mike Florio of Pro Football […]

Alabama defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick is going to the NFL. As Pro Football Talk’s Charean Williams reports, Fitzpatrick has decided to forgo his final season of eligibility in college to enter the 2018 NFL draft, where he is expected to be one of the top defensive players selected. Despite playing just three years at Tuscaloosa, […]

When Tua Tagovailoa stepped in for the Alabama Crimson Tide and led them to a dramatic victory in the National Championship game on Monday night, Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota proudly soaked it all in. With a whole week to prepare for the second playoff game of his brief NFL career, Mariota stayed up late […]

Despite some rumors that swirled on Tuesday morning, Paul Schwartz of the New York Post reports that Alabama’s Nick Saban is not interested in the New York Giants’ vacant head coaching position. Saban, who just tied the legendary Bear Bryant with his sixth National Championship on Monday night, has been connected to various head coaching jobs […]

The Tennessee Volunteers aren’t doing great this season. Las Vegas has noticed. And now the Vols are a five-touchdown underdog heading into their game against the Alabama Crimson Tide. For a little quick history as to how absurd that line is, in the previous 99 meetings between Tennessee and Alabama, the Vols have lost by […]

It must be a weird week for Clemson Tigers head coach Dabo Swinney. His team was upset by the Syracuse Orange, which is the bad. Then, however, he was a part of the Alabama Crimson Tide’s celebration of its 1992 national championship on Saturday. Bittersweet or something. Dabo Swinney, who began his career as a […]

The Dabo Swinney to Alabama rumors will never die. Maybe that is good for the sport, as it gives us all stuff to talk about, but the Clemson fan base must hate it at this point. While this shouldn’t add fuel to that rumor-fire, Dabo Swinney will be in Alabama this weekend. Not to take […]

Never change Lane Kiffin. Do not stop going in on your former boss. Sure, Nick Saban is one of the all-time greatest coaches in college football’s history, and you have yet to have any form of success, but you are too glorious to let that stop you. Personal aside to Lane Kiffin now over, the […]

Lane Kiffin is the hero we never knew we needed. The former Alabama Crimson Tide offensive coordinator, and current FAU Owls head coach, is everything that is right with college football, even if that is actually unintentional. What people might most remember about Kiffin the last few years was his iffy relationship with Nick Saban. Nick […]

Nick Saban is one of the greatest college football coaches of all-time. There’s little debating that, especially after he has turned the Alabama Crimson Tide to some weird version of John Wooden’s UCLA basketball program, but instead of scoring buckets, Nick Saban’s players commit acts of violence for our entertainment. Anyway, Alabama had been rolling […]
