Nine Alabama alumni have recorded 1,000-yard receiving seasons in the NFL after two joined the list during the 2024 season. Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams surpassed 1,000 receiving yards this season for the first time in their careers.
They joined Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley as former Alabama players who had 1,000 receiving yards in 2024.
Of the Crimson Tide’s nine 1,000-yard receivers, eight rank as the top eight former Alabama players in NFL career receiving yards. Williams ranks 22nd among Tide alumni in NFL receiving yards. But with another 1,000-yard season, he would be in the top 10.
