ORLANDO, Fla. -- Jedrick Wills gets asked about his upcoming decision a lot.

The Alabama right tackle is one of several draft-eligible players that will have to choose whether to return to Tuscaloosa or enter the 2020 NFL Draft after the Citrus Bowl on Jan. 1.

And like his teammates, Wills’ attention is on the upcoming game against Michigan.

“Just kind of focusing on this game,” Wills said following Saturday’s bowl practice in Orlando, “trying to enjoy this time in Orlando, just trying to get the game plan together, as of now.”

Wills has anchored a Crimson Tide offensive line that has surrendered only 12 sacks in 381 pass attempts this season. The junior tackle graded out at over 91 percent as a pass-blocker, allowing only one sack and 3.5 quarterback hurries, and Wills has only missed a total of seven assignments across his 714 snaps at right tackle for a 99.9 percent success rate.

Wills’ name has been a popular one among NFL draft analysts, with some considering him the top offensive tackle prospect in the 2020 draft field. But even with the buzz surrounding his draft stock, the veteran offensive lineman had no plans to skip Alabama’s bowl game.

“I feel like no matter what, I was going to play,” Wills said. “So, like if I had the opportunity to leave or if I didn’t, or if I was like a first-round draft pick, if I was a fifth-round draft pick, no matter where I was standing or if I had the opportunity to even leave, I’d still play just be there for my brothers and play for the last time in an Alabama uniform.”

Wills said it means a lot that so many players with potential soon-to-be NFL careers elected to play in the game. “It’s just like a bond that can’t be broken,” the right tackle called it.

Alabama head coach Nick Saban has been impressed with the work ethic of those players.

“Those guys have all been good,” Saban said Friday. “I told our guys, I said, ‘Look, if you’re a top-15, top-20 pick, I get it in terms of what you might be thinking about. But if you’re not that, we’re going to do everything we can to insure you so that you don’t have to worry about playing in the game from an injury standpoint, and you can go out there and create value for yourself.

“I think a lot of people in this world make decisions on what-ifs, and I think you want to deal from a position of strength. And I think when you worry about what-if, you think about a lot of weaknesses that what might happen, and that may make you not make a good choice and decision about what you do. But if you’re confident in moving forward in doing what you do and you create value for yourself, that’s going to give you the best opportunities in the future.

“So, that’s kind of what we’ve talked to our players about, and most of them buy into it and understand it and have done a good job with it.”

Wills has until Jan. 20 to declare for the 2020 draft, but his focus is on finishing the season -- what could be his final one in crimson and white -- the right way with a win in Orlando.

“It’s been a completely different attitude because people think we fell off,” Wills said. “Like we lose two games here and people think that we had like the worst season ever. A lot of teams don’t even go even. Just something for us to kind of make a statement.”
