NFL Players from Alabama
Alabama has been fortunate to have many high school football players move
on to the National Football League. Over 500 players from the state have
appeared in at least one NFL game since 1920. Six of these players
achieved the highest honor of all in the game by being elected to the
Pro Football Hall of Fame. They are Ken Stabler, Bart Starr, Ozzie Newsome, John
Hannah, John Stallworth and Buck Buchanan. I think you would agree
Alabama is well represented with these great players.
