NFL teams pick players based upon need and talent/character, not on what a player's uniform looked like in college. To assert anything else is silly and unprofessional. If Saban's coaching and player development skills are so superior, I'm sure another NFL gig awaits him with open arms and wallet.

Alabama and many SEC schools didn't have African American players until ~40 years ago in the early 1970s. Many of the eventual NFL guys that would have gone to Bama went to Grambling, Jackson St and other HBCUs and some went to other regions of the country to play.
A family friend (of the older members of my family born before 1960) happened to be one of the 1st African American players at Bama...... Wilbur Jackson. He happened to be a 1st Round Pick (#9 overall) in 1974.
Perhaps a total post integration would be more telling.

I've seen a lot of crazy stuff on the BOL also so let's settle down. Right now we have more NFL players in the league. In a few days you guys will. We will have some in 2013 but I doubt it will be enough to put us over. It will be close and it will be close for a while IMO.
