2020 NFL season features 64 Alabama alumni on field - al.com


Sixty-four Alabama alumni played in an NFL regular-season game in the 2020 campaign, the most in school history.


The former Crimson Tide players flooding into the NFL pushed Alabama to a participation record for the fourth straight season.


In 2017, 44 Tide alumni played in an NFL game, eclipsing the school record of 40 set in the 1987 season. In 2018, the record moved to 52, and in 2019, it jumped to 62. In 2020, the record went up again, and it might have been more. Five former Alabama players sat out the 2020 season as COVID-19 opt-outs.

Did you notice that a rather large percentage of those 64 Bama players suffered injuries? I know injuries are common in the NFL but the number of injuries to former Tide players stood out to me. Most of them were having great seasons beforehand.

There are not many NFL teams that does not have a former Bama player on its roster.

Pittsburgh Steelers sign J.C. Hassenauer - al.com

JC gets 780K for 2021


Hassenauer for the 2021 season by signing the Alabama alumnus to a one-year contract on Thursday.


Hassenauser was an exclusive-rights free agent – a player with fewer than three accrued seasons of NFL service time and an expiring contract. If an exclusive-rights free agent is offered a one-year contract at the league minimum by his team, he cannot negotiate with other clubs.



Those terms would mean Hassenauer signed a contract for $780,000.
