The Los Angeles Rams took a pair of former Alabama football players in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Simpson was taken with the No. 13 overall pick by the Rams, and Keenan was selected by the Rams with the No. 232 overall pick. Keenan recently expressed his excitement to continue to play with Simpson.
“Ty, that’s my dawg, so for us to be reunited in LA is a fairy tale come true,” Keenan said with a big smile. “Tell my brother, I love him and can’t wait to see him. I’m coming to his house too because he’s a quarterback and everything. I know he got some good stuff.”
Simpson and Keenan played at Alabama together from 2022 to 2025. Both started for the Tide during the 2025 season.
Two teams in the 2026 NFL Draft took a pair of former Alabama players. Justin Jefferson and Parker Brailsford were drafted by the Cleveland Browns.
