Alabama continues craziest NFL Draft first-round streak with unfathomable stat

Alabama's football program is often viewed a bit like an NFL team.

There are many reasons for that, but how about this stat?

The Crimson Tide have now had a player selected in the first round of the NFL Draft for 17 consecutive years.

Tyler Booker to the Dallas Cowboys at No. 12 overall on Thursday night made that true this year. Linebacker Jihaad Campbell also went in the first, at No. 31 to the Eagles.

The streak started in 2009 after Alabama somehow had no draft picks at all in the 2008 draft.

The full list of first-rounders from Alabama since 2009 is as follows:

• 2009: Andre Smith (1.6 Bengals)
