Alabama generated 47 first-round NFL Draft picks under Nick Saban, but will Kalen DeBoer begin his tenure as head coach of the Crimson Tide with two first-rounders in the 2025 draft?

According to Pro Football Focus, two Alabama players, both on offense, are among the top 50 prospects for next year’s draft.

Jalen Milroe (quarterback) and Tyler Booker (offensive lineman) could come off the board early next April should both accomplish marquee seasons in the fall. Milroe, a fourth-year player, enters his second season as a starting quarterback for Alabama football. He totaled 2,834 passing yards and 35 touchdowns to six interceptions in 2023. He posted 12 rushing touchdowns and assisted the Crimson Tide to a Southeastern Conference Championship. Milroe returned the Tide to the College Football after it missed out in 2022. He now has an offensive coaching staff around him and is in a position to have a huge year.

Milroe ranks at No. 39 on PFF’s big board.

Booker, a third-year offensive guard, came to Alabama in the 2022 class as a five star. He prides himself on playing with toughness, physicality, and instincts. He cleared the way for Jahmyr Gibbs and Jase McClellan to have success. Both are now in the National Football League with Gibbs as a first-rounder (Detroit Lions) and McClellan as a sixth-rounder (Atlanta Falcons).

Booker protected Milroe to have good numbers last season, but keeping him up right could have him as a top-10 pick.

Booker ranks at No. 50 on the PFF’s big board.
