After NFL teams gobbled up one Alabama player after another in the first three rounds of the league's draft, the Crimson Tide didn't have much left to offer.

Still available were safety Eddie Jackson, receiver Gehrig Dieter and long snapper extraordinaire Cole Mazza.

In the end, only Jackson was selected Saturday. He went to Chicago with the fifth pick of the fourth round after the Bears executed a trade with the Los Angeles Rams to move up and grab him. The selection of Jackson meant that Alabama had ten players drafted for first time ever in the current seven-round format as well as the Nick Saban era.

Jackson could have easily been snagged earlier had he not fractured his leg last October against Texas A&M and missed the remainder of his senior season as well as the majority of the workouts at the NFL combine.

A third-team All-American in 2015, he finished his career at Alabama with nine interceptions and three forced fumbles. He also proved to be a dynamic specialist, scoring twice on the 11 punts he returned last season.

Jackson was the seventh Crimson Tide defensive player selected from a unit ranked No. 1 in the country in 2016.

Before the 80th pick was announced Friday, nine of his former teammates were selected.

It was a record and Jackson just missed out on contributing to it.
