The 2027 NFL draft is already shaping up to be yet another memorable one for Alabama football.
This past week, Alabama saw a total of 10 players hear their names called during the 2026 NFL draft, headlined by a pair of first round picks in Kadyn Proctor and Ty Simpson.
That number could look similar in 2027 as well, if not even better, as the Crimson Tide have a number of players set to return for the 2026 season who could receive potential first round consideration next year, as well as maybe even Top 10 overall.
Here is an early look at four of Alabama's top 2027 NFL draft prospects.

Coleman-Williams will enter his junior season in Tuscaloosa as one of the top wide receivers in college football. The talented receiver struggled a bit during the 2025 season with drops, but is still one of the most electrifying players in college football with the ball in his hands, and could easily receive first round interest, especially with a bounce-back 2026 campaign.
