In the 2003 NFL Draft, the San Diego Chargers selected Tuskegee cornerback Drayton Florence with the 14th choice in the second round. That made Florence the first player from an Alabama high school or college picked in the NFL Draft that year. In the 19 subsequent drafts, at least one player with Alabama football roots has been chosen in the first round, and that streak will extend to 20 years on April 27, when the NFL holds the first round of its 88th draft in Kansas City, Missouri. · TREVOR LAWRENCE ANTICIPATES ‘A LOT OF FUN' THROWING TO CALVIN RIDLEY · CAM NEWTON SAYS HE'D BACK UP TUA TAGOVAILOA, JALEN HURTS, BRYCE YOUNG · ALABAMA ROOTS: WHO REMAINS UNSIGNED IN FREE AGENCY?
