Saban's Sabers: Alabama Dominates NFL Draft Positions

The Minnesota Vikings' selection of Alabama kicker Will Reichard in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft marks a significant milestone: it means that every position on a football team has now been filled by an Alabama player coached by Nick Saban.

Reichard, who developed into one of the most reliable kickers in Saban's tenure, ended his college career as Alabama's all-time leading scorer with 547 points.
