FILE - In this Oct. 19, 2019, file photo, Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (13) warms up before an NCAA college football game against Tennessee, in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The SEC hasn't had a quarterback picked in the first round of the NFL draft since Johnny Manziel in 2014, and the league has never had more than one quarterback taken in the first round. It appears that's about to change, as Tua Tagovailoa, Joe Burrow and possibly Jake Fromm could make the next draft the best ever for SEC quarterbacks. (AP Photo/Vasha Hunt, File)
