Top five 2017 NFL rookie classes by school: Alabama No. 1: Four of top Five from the SEC.

[TerryP]

1. Alabama
Rookies: Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey (pick No. 16 overall), Redskins DE Jonathan Allen (No. 17), Buccaneers TE O.J. Howard (No. 19), 49ers LB Reuben Foster (No. 31), Jaguars OT Cam Robinson(No. 34), Redskins LB Ryan Anderson (No. 49), Giants DT Dalvin Tomlinson (No. 55), Ravens OLB Tim Williams (No. 78), Jets WR ArDarius Stewart (No. 79), Bears S Eddie Jackson (No. 112).

The skinny: Alabama has a long list of impact rookies. The overall depth of the group is impressive, but Foster has been the standout of the bunch. He's been the toner setter we thought he would be. Humphrey has come on really strong in the second half of the season and has been better than I expected. Howard is showing great promise, and Allen was steady prior to suffering a season-ending foot injury in October.

Robinson has been outstanding and it wouldn't shock me if he gets some Pro Bowl consideration. The Jaguars are one of the top rushing teams in the league and they've done a nice job of protecting Blake Bortles -- Robinson is a big reason for their success up front. Tomlinson has started every game this season for the Giants. Jackson's been a ball magnet, scoring two TDs of 75-plus yards against the Panthers in October.

Humphry is a little surprising right now. His talent has always been off the chart, just needed to work on technique. After an injury allowed him to get some reps he has really done well, even against the Antonio Browns of the NFL. Cam surprised me a little but all the talk about him not being a LT at the next level was just that, talk. Tomlinson starting since day one with the Giants was surprising but it should make all of us look back and realize how great our D-linemen have been this last cycle. I actually watched a few 49er games just because of Reuben. He is who we thought he was, great. Allen just got hurt or else he'd be right there with the NFL best rookies.
