Isaiah Buggs needed to go the junior college route first before heading to Alabama. While he made the most of it — named top JUCO player in the country by Rivals — Buggs found it hard to really shine immediately with the Tide because of how stacked the roster was. Still, two years with Bama was enough to push him toward the NFL.

“Coming from Alabama, NFL teams know they're going to get great players. Under a great coach Nick Saban, you got to trust his process. His process always get you to the next level. You do all the little things right you're going to be successful. So I just want to give all the credit to Alabama for building me into the player and man that I needed to be for the next level,” said Buggs.

Buggs shined as a run-stopping D-Tackle in his first season with the Tide, with 46 of his 51 stops coming against the ground game. Last season he knew it was time to show off the other side of his game, moving to the edge and leading Bama in sacks with 9.5, with 13.5 tackles for a loss. It's that inside-out ability that Buggs believes markets him best in the NFL.

"I was always taught not to be a one-trick pony. Coming out through the junior college, high school, I was never a one-trick pony. I wanted to play all across the line and that's actually put me in a position now to be successful because when those teams turn on the tape they see that I can play inside, outside and that's great for me. That just puts more resume and more knowledge to my film tape to be able to show I can put this guy anywhere on the field and I know he can play that position and get it done,” said Buggs.

The measureables don't jump off the charts with Buggs, pushing him into the rounds 3-to-5 range.
