Joshua McMillon was one of four Alabama players that went undrafted.

Dylan Moses, Miller Forristall, and Carl Tucker have all signed free agent deals. McMillon has yet to sign with a pro team; however, he was invited to the New Orleans Saints’ rookie orientation.

Nick Underhill, who covers the Saints for neworleans.football, reported the news on Thursday. Crimson Tide fans are hoping the Saints sign, McMillon.

A native of Memphis, Tenn., McMillon played six seasons at the University of Alabama.

He was a four-star recruit in its 2015 signing class and served as a linebacker, core special teams players, and fullback in goal-line situations. McMillon won three national championships with the Tide and four Southeastern Conference titles.
