PHOTO: Alabama recruiting poster shows off Saban draft record

Clever recruiting poster from Alabama shows NFL jerseys of all 111 players 'coached or recruited' by Nick Saban who have been drafted.

It has never been a secret that one of Nick Saban's biggest selling points on the recruiting trail has been his NFL background, his NFL-style defense, his NFL-style offense ... in short, all the connections to the NFL that he and his assistants can tell recruits will make it more likely they'll get their own connection to the NFL, too.

But how to get that argument across in one poster? Via Alabama athletics official Tyler Siskey, this is how: 

You might argue that even with the annotation at the bottom that only 33 of the 111 players listed attended Alabama -- most went to LSU, and the first few, charmingly, date all the way back to Saban's time at Toledo -- the poster maybe distorts exactly where "here" is where the process is concerned. 

Of course, when you've won three national titles in four years and dominated the first round of the previous draft, there's no such thing as fine print.
