Alabama football stands alone for NFL contracts

Nick Saban is no longer coaching, but he will have the field inside Bryant-Denny Stadium dedicated to him and made sure his players got paid in the National Football League.

The University of Alabama stands alone when it comes to players getting that bag in the NFL.

According to a graphic via Alabama football’s X account, former Crimson Tide players signed $1 billion in professional contracts. Several names, including Tua Tagovailoa, Jaylen Waddle, Patrick Surtain II, Christian Barmore, DeVonta Smith, Jerry Jeudy, and Landon Dickerson, signed massive contract extensions this year.

Saban helped these young men be champions at Alabama and create generational wealth.
