Thursday night saw two Alabama players taken in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft.
Tyler Booker’s selection by the Dallas Cowboys with the No. 12 pick extended Alabama’s streak to 17 years with at least one player selected in the first round.
Tyler Booker - Guard
Tyler Booker became the first Alabama player off the board when he was selected No. 12 by the Dallas Cowboys during Thursday’s draft. Booker was the first guard selected in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Over the past two seasons, Booker has been the starting left guard for Alabama. Last season, he earned an impressive 86.5 pass blocking grade from Pro Football Focus (PFF), allowing zero sacks and just 10 pressures in 395 pass-blocking snaps. Over his 1,035 career pass-blocking snaps, he surrendered just two sacks. On top of his pass-blocking skills, Booker demonstrated strong run-blocking skills as well, earning a strong 65.2 grade from PFF last season.
Jihaad Campbell - Linebacker
Jihaad Campbell became the second Alabama player to come off the board in the first round when he was selected No. 31 by the defending Super Bowl champs, the Philadelphia Eagles. Campbell extended the Crimson Tide’s streak of nine consecutive years with at least two Alabama players selected in the first round.
Campbell started 21 games at linebacker over the past two seasons for the Crimson Tide. In his last season at Alabama, Campbell led the Crimson Tide with 117 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss and five sacks.
