Ravens have had a ton of Bama players since Ozzie Newsome became their GM. They currently have 3 Bama players on the roster and have drafted 12 Bama players since the franchise first began, including long-time starting LB Jarret Johnson, all-pro FB LeRon McClain, Super Bowl champ NT Terrence Cody, longtime starter LB Courtney Upshaw, all-pro LB CJ Moseley, all-pro corner Marlon Humphrey, and longtime starting center Bradley Bozeman.
This has to do with the player evaluation system Belichick/Saban/Newsome started with the Browns in the 90’s. They have a very specific physical profile for every defensive position. If you look back on the rosters of those browns/ravens D’s, Patriots, LSU-Bama the DL’s, LB’s, and DB’s all have very similar physical profiles and measurables with almost no exceptions. (Height, broad jump, arm length, 10 yard speed splits)
The book Collision Low Crossers about the Jets when Rex Ryan was coach touches on it. Ryan took a similar system to NY from the Ravens.
