Isaiah Buggs 2019 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Every year in the NFL Draft, the Alabama Crimson Tide have a star defensive lineman selected early on. This year,\u00a0Quinnen Williams<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0has grabbed the top honor of not only the best Crimson Tide prospect, but one of the best prospects overall. Williams isn\u2019t the only Tide defensive lineman in this Draft. An underrated and often overlooked playmaker on the defensive lineman is\u00a0Isaiah Buggs<\/a><\/strong>. Even though Williams is the more explosive, Buggs has shown to be highly consistent himself. Buggs was a highly developed before he arrived at Alabama from Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. He was always essentially a defender with the Crimson Tide, playing with top rated Draft prospects. Buggs has high value himself and many teams that will be looking to acquire his talents and skills.<\/p>\n

In his first season with the Crimson Tide in 2017, Buggs was a role player who was suited as a defender to clog running room for opposing offenses. He accounted for 51 total tackles, four tackles for loss, and 1.5 sacks. The next season was a huge breakout year for Buggs playing in a big spotlight. He was part of a hugely experienced defensive line that included Williams and\u00a0Raekwon<\/strong>\u00a0Davis<\/strong><\/a>. Buggs accounted for 52 total tackles, 23 solo tackles, 13.5 tackles for loss (eighth-most in the SEC), 9.5 sacks (fourth-most in the SEC), three pass deflections, and two forced fumbles. He was eventually named apart of the second-team All-SEC from the Coaches and AP. Buggs showed out at the 2019 Senior Bowl by being named one of the 10 players of the week.<\/p>\n
