The Alabama Crimson Tide made their mark at the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, with 10 players selected across all seven rounds. While only two went in the first round, this year's class is packed with potential impact rookies ready to shine on Sundays. Let's break down how each former Tide star could perform in their debut NFL season.

Kadyn Proctor, drafted by the Miami Dolphins, was one of the top offensive linemen available this year. At 6-foot-7 and 366 pounds, he's a versatile tackle who can plug into multiple spots on the Dolphins' line. Expect Proctor to step in as a day-one starter and anchor Miami's protection all season long.

Jalen Simpson's first-round selection by the Los Angeles Rams surprised many, but the rookie quarterback has a golden opportunity. He'll back up veteran Matthew Stafford, learning from one of the all-time greats at the position. If the 38-year-old Stafford misses time, Simpson could see meaningful snaps and prove he's ready to lead.

Germie Bernard, picked in the second round by the Pittsburgh Steelers, was considered one of the best receivers left on the board. He'll likely slot in as the No. 3 wideout behind DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr., but don't underestimate his impact. Bernard is an instant contributor who can create big plays even against elite competition. His college production at Alabama suggests he's ready to make an immediate splash in the Steel City.
