Alabama fans get first look at when Crimson Tide rookies begin NFL grind

Several former Alabama players will take the next step in their careers with camp just on the horizon. The NFL recently released the schedule for all offseason workout dates for every NFL team.

A total of 10 players from the Crimson Tide were taken off the board during the 2026 NFL Draft, with some rookies landing on the same team professionally.

Here is a look at where each Alabama player landed and when they will report for their respective teams. All offseason dates by team are included.

OL Kadyn Proctor: No. 12, Round 1, Miami Dolphins

Proctor came to the Dolphins as a left tackle, but he will transition to left guard for the Dolphins. He's expected to excel with the adjustment and will provide enhanced protection for the next Miami quarterback. Who exactly will be starting at that position remains up for debate.

First Day: April 7

Voluntary Minicamp: April 21-23

Rookie Minicamp: May 8-10

OTA Offseason Workouts: May 18-19, May 21, May 26-27, May 29, June 8-9, June 11

Mandatory Minicamp: June 2-4

QB Ty Simpson: No. 13, Round 1 and DL Tim Keenan III: No 232, Round 7 to the Los Angeles Rams

Simpson was one of the more controversial picks in the entire event, especially to have been chosen this early in the first round. Many complained about the selection, arguing Simpson should have been taken later and that the Rams should have invested more in veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford. Simpson will have a chance to start proving himself sooner rather than later.

He will be joined in that journey by a familiar defensive lineman he went up against in practice.

First Day: April 20

Rookie Minicamp: May 8-10

OTA Offseason Workouts: May 26-28, June 1-2, June 4, June 8-9, June 11

Mandatory Minicamp: June 15-16

WR Germie Bernard: No. 47, Round 2, Pittsburgh Steelers

Bernard brings an instant upgrade to the Steelers receiving corps and will be an asset with the speed, versatility, and consistency he brings. Bernard doesn't miss -- his drop rate in 2025 was just 1.5 percent. How he applies all of that in Pittsburgh will be an exciting thing for Alabama fans to watch.

First Day: April 7

Voluntary Minicamp: April 20-22

Rookie Minicamp: May 8-10

OTA Offseason Workouts: May 18, May 20-21, May 26, May 28-29, June 8-9, June 11-12

Mandatory Minicamp: June 2-4

DL LT Overton: No. 136, Round 4, Dallas Cowboys

Overton to the Cowboys was a pick that some saw upside in, and others absolutely could not stand. It's easy to understand why. Overton brings a lot of potential and upside to a team, but he also registered just 12 tackles for loss and seven sacks over 49 games at Alabama and Texas A&M.

First Day: April 20

Rookie Minicamp: May 1-3

OTA Offseason Workouts: June 1-2, June 4, June 8-9, June 11

Mandatory Minicamp: June 16-18

C Parker Brailsford: No. 146, Round 5 and LB Justin Jefferson: No. 149, Round 5 to the Cleveland Browns

These two didn't have any on-the-field encounters aside from some practices, and there will be more of the same as the pair head to Cleveland. Brailsford is a good get for the Browns, especially this late. He was largely considered the second-best center in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Jefferson is expected to contribute on special teams with the chance to move up in the position room as he develops.

First Day: April 7

Voluntary Minicamp: April 21-23

Rookie Minicamp: May 8-10

OTA Offseason Workouts: May 19-21, May 26-28, June 2-5

Mandatory Minicamp: June 9-11

TE Josh Cuevas: No. 173, Round 5, Baltimore Ravens

Cuevas is expected to wear multiple hats for the Ravens with his ability to play in the slot and as a fullback. Expect him to hold steady at either second or third on the depth chart for the better part of his career.

First Day: April 6

Voluntary Minicamp: April 20-22

Rookie Minicamp: May 1-2

OTA Offseason Workouts: May 18-19, May 21, May 26-28, June 1-2, June 4

Mandatory Minicamp: June 9-10

DB Domani Jackson: No. 201, Round 6, Green Bay Packers

Jackson is another pick out of Alabama that draws a mixed bag of reactions. He had his moments with the Crimson Tide, but he also allowed a 76.2% completion rate from opposing passers. That was good for the sixth-worst in this class.

First Day: April 20

Rookie Minicamp: May 1-2

OTA Offseason Workouts: May 26-27, May 29, June 1-2, June 4, June 15-16, June 18

Mandatory Minicamp: June 9-11

RB Jam Miller: No. 245, Round 7, New England Patriots

Miller marked the last Alabama player to be selected in 2026. Speed and power work to his advantage here, but he's expected to face a tough road in gaining a roster spot. Expect him to be more of a practice squad and/or depth player at this level.

First Day: April 20

Rookie Minicamp: May 8-10

OTA Offseason Workouts: May 27, May 28-29, June 1-2, June 4, June 8-9, June 11

Mandatory Minicamp: June 15-17
