  03/05/22 - OT *Evan NealJr/2022, Alabama

  Former Alabama offensive lineman Evan Neal chose not to participate in workout drills this week at the NFL combine, and with eight weeks before the draft, there is little left for the three-year starter to prove. Neal has long been considered a high first-round pick and could become Alabama's first No. 1 overall selection in 74 years. "We've had a whole lot of Alabama players that were worthy of having the No. 1 spot," Neal said Thursday. "If that would be me, that would be extremely special. The whole state of Alabama would be proud and the University of Alabama would definitely be proud, for sure." No Alabama player has been the first chosen in an NFL draft since Washington took quarterback Harry Gilmer in 1948.

The New York Jets also made Joe Namath the No. 1 overall pick in the 1965 AFL draft before that league merged its draft with the NFL. Neal will still have a chance to step on the field in front of scouts at Alabama's pro day March 30, in addition to meeting with teams in the weeks leading up to the April 28 draft in Las Vegas. "Had a long season," Neal said of his decision to skip combine drills. "I wanted to give myself a little bit more time to prepare. After talking with my agent, he thought that would be the best route to take for me." - Birmingham News
