The 2022 NFL Draft ended Saturday evening with seven players from Alabama selected over the three days, the fewest for the school since 2016.
Cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis’ selection early in the fourth round proved to be the final of the draft for the Tide, which saw cornerback Josh Jobe and outside linebacker Christopher Allen not drafted despite projections both would be picked.
Alabama had 10 players selected in 2021, nine in 2020, 10 in 2019, a school-record 12 in 2018 and 10 in 2017. There was his name, added to the list of All-Americans to come through the program. McCreary long dreamt of having his name on that board, and as he saw that goal actualized following a standout senior season, he thought back on all he accomplished on the Plains.
A native of Mobile, McCreary spent four years at Auburn, where he went from unheralded three-star prospect to All-America cornerback and one of the premier cover corners in college football. McCreary finished his Auburn career with 135 total tackles, with 10 for a loss, six interceptions and 35 pass breakups.
