'Who was the best of Alabama’s four dynastic signal callers?' columnist JoeGoodmanJr asks on NFL DraftDay.
Young could be the first Alabama player to be drafted No.1 overall since jump-pass innovator Harry Gilmer in 1948. Gilmer wasn’t a tall guy, so he taught himself how to jump and throw. We do what we can. Young might be the shortest and smallest quarterback ever drafted in the first round, but he also might be the brightest.
Safety Jordan Battle, another 2022 permanent co-captain for Alabama, saw it all the time in practice. They couldn’t fool Young with anything. What’s going to make Young successful in the NFL? The second distinction of greatness goes to Oklahoma, which has produced a trio of No.1 overall draft picks: Kyler Murray to the Cardinals in the 2019, Baker Mayfield to the Browns in 2018 and Sam Bradford to the St. Louis Rams in 2010. Notably, though, none of those quarterbacks won national championships. The last OU quarterback to win the natty? It’s current Tennessee coach Josh Heupel .
With Tagovailoa, Jones and Young, Alabama can now claim its own special quarterback dynasty. Young will give Alabama three first-round quarterbacks over a four-year span. It’s an unprecedented achievement. Will we ever see anything like it again? Not likely. In the history of Florida football, which was long considered the quarterbacking capital of the SEC, the Gators have only produced four first-round quarterbacks all-time. Tennessee, Auburn and Georgia: two each.
