This past spring, the Alabama Crimson Tide saw a total of seven players selected during the 2025 NFL draft, as well as a few others sign with professional teams in the days that followed as undrafted free agents.

Since then, each of those players have participated in mini camps, and are now currently in training camp as we inch closer to the official start of the 2025 NFL season.

Taking a deeper look at each name in particular, what potential role could each of Alabama‘s NFL rookies play during the 2025 season? Will some start from day one, or will each likely serve as depth options?

Here is a current projection as to what each Alabama rookie’s role is expected to be entering the 2025 NFL season.

Jalen Milroe, Quarterback – Seattle Seahawks

Selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the third round, Milroe is currently projected to enter his rookie NFL season as a backup. In Seattle, veteran Sam Darnold is cemented as the starting quarterback, along with Drew Lock likely No. 2 on the depth chart, which means that Milroe is third-string at best entering the season, making just how much, if any, action he sees in 2025 a question mark.

Robbie Ouzts, Tight End – Seattle Seahawks

Ouzts is a teammate of Milroe previously, as the former Alabama tight end was selected by Seattle in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL draft. The former Alabama tight end could find playing time very early this season with Seattle, as Ouzts could potentially be the Seahawks starting fullback as a rookie.

CJ Dippre, Tight End – New England Patriots

Dippre is the first Alabama rookie mentioned here who went undrafted this past spring, signing as a free agent with the New England Patriots. The former Alabama tight end is likely a depth option entering this season with the Patriots, and could potentially be a practice squad player.

Tyler Booker, Offensive Guard – Dallas Cowboys

Alabama’s first player selected in the 2025 NFL draft, Booker, a first round pick, currently projects as a starter for the Dallas Cowboys along the offensive line in year one. As to what position that comes at, Booker will likely see time at either left or right guard.

Tim Smith, Defensive Tackle – Indianapolis Colts

Smith, selected in the sixth round by the Indianapolis Colts, is likely a depth option entering his first NFL season. As for how much time Smith could see, the former Alabama defensive tackle is likely a rotation option to begin the year.

Que Robinson, Outside Linebacker – Denver Broncos

Robinson was selected in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL draft, taken by the Denver Broncos. Entering year one with Denver, Robinson likely projects as a depth, or rotation, option at outside linebacker this season who should be used primarily in pass rushing situations.

Jihaad Campbell, Inside Linebacker – Philadelphia Eagles

Campbell was the second of those two aforementioned Alabama first round picks, landing with the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles at pick No. 31 overall. Sitting behind the likes of Nakobe Dean and Zach Baun on the depth chart, Campbell might not necessarily begin the season as a starter, but will undoubtedly play significant snaps this year as a rookie.

Malachi Moore, Safety – New York Jets

Moore was selected in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL draft, landing with the New York Jets. The former Alabama safety might not start for New York this season, but will still likely see action as a backup, while also a special teams option.

James Burnip, Punter – New Orleans Saints

Concluding with Burnip, the former Alabama went undrafted this past spring, signing as a free agent with the New Orleans Saints. Burnip will compete for the Saints starting job in training camp.
