9/1/12- 3rd and long, at Michigan 36, how many Alabama players on field in this play are in the NFL today?
Check out the infographic below and you'll see.
Actually, all 11 of these players on offense in this play are now in the NFL.... very impressive...
(I got to attend that game in person, really enjoyed Cowboy Stadium and Bama's romp over Meeechigan in that game.
I'd also forgotten that Michigan was ranked 8th pre-season that game after an 11 win season the year before).

"Infographic Shows Every Player on Field for 2012 Alabama Offense Is in NFL
It's no secret that head coach Nick Saban's Alabama Crimson Tide teams have been loaded with NFL-caliber talent through the years. Fans knew it at the time, but looking back on those squads, it's crazy to see just how loaded his teams were.
Just check out this infographic from a 2012 game between the Crimson Tide and the Michigan Wolverines. Alabama was ranked No. 2 at the time, and Michigan entered the game ranked eighth in the country in the AP Top 25.
The game was effectively over before the first quarter ended. The Crimson Tide jumped out to a 31-0 lead in the game before cruising to a 41-14 victory.
Less than three years later, all 11 Alabama offensive players on the field on that September night are now in the NFL. Regardless of how much success the players have had, they are all in the league. That's incredible.
Alabama would go 13-1 that season and beat Notre Dame 42-14 in the BCS National Championship Game to win its third title in four seasons."
