It should come as no surprise that the Citi BCS National Championship Game is also the bowl game that features the most NFL-caliber talent.

Alabama and Texas boast 12 players who grade out as mid-round prospects or better, including three likely first-round picks. There are also 16 other players in the game who are late-round or rookie free agent possibilities.

Below is a breakdown of the top 12 NFL prospects from the Crimson Tide and Longhorns as well as a listing of the remaining prospects from each team. Underclassmen are denoted with an asterisk.


To see the players in the national championship game who are headed for stardom at the next level you must be an ESPN Insider. Insider
