2023 NFL Draft Profile: Alabama DL Byron Young
On Thursday, April 27, the 2023 NFL draft will begin in Kansas City. As has been the case since Nick Saban took over in Tuscaloosa, the Alabama Crimson Tide is expected to have more than its fair share of selections.
With the draft closing in, it is time to take a closer look at all of the potential draft selections that once wore the legendary crimson and white.
Alabama could have as many as 13 draft selections at the end of the month and from Bryce Young to DJ Dale we are going to profile each one of them.
Let’s take a look at one of Alabama’s more productive defensive linemen over the past couple of seasons, Byron Young.
