Add another first-round draft pick to the tally for Nick Saban. Alabama offensive tackle JC Latham was selected seventh overall by the Tennessee Titans in Detr

Alabama offensive tackle JC Latham was selected seventh overall by the Tennessee Titans in Detroit on Thursday night in the 2024 NFL Draft. He is the third Crimson Tide player picked by the Titans in the first round since 2013, joining Rashaan Evans and Chance Warmack.

The first-round pick was in Detroit for the draft and walked across the stage to grab his first Titans jersey from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Latham was a two-year starter for Alabama at right tackles with 27 career starts and 41 total appearances under his belt. The offensive lineman was a part of two SEC championship-winning teams, one as a starter and one as a reserve.

He becomes the fifth offensive tackle and 45th overall Alabama players taken in the first round in the Saban era joining Evan Neal, Alex Leatherwood, Jedrick Wills and Jonah Williams. Latham started at right tackle for the Crimson Tide but talked at Alabama's pro day about his willingness and versatility to play multiple positions along the offensive line.
