No. 1 + No. 2 = No. 3.

Recruiting talented players only gets you so far. It's what's happened with that talent that's allowed both teams to flirt with or win a national championship more often than they don't.

Since 2009, Alabama's had 41 players selected in the NFL Draft. More than half were first- or second-round picks.
