Tomorrow, every square foot of Sanford Stadium will be crammed with Georgia red, Alabama crimson, and celebs. Also, you can make sure to look for these ‘Men in Black’ with binoculars; they could be seated next to you. Because tucked into that crowd, blending in with fans carrying notebooks instead of pom-poms, there will be 14 big league representatives present as pickers and choosers of maybe the next Lamar Jackson out of this No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs (3-0) and No. 17 Alabama Crimson Tide (2-1) fiesta.

Sources at BamaOnLine confirmed just how deep the league presence will be. Based on the seating chart, scouts from a staggering 14 franchises are expected, some sending multiple representatives. The Baltimore Ravens and Rams are doubling up, while Washington is going heavy with four sets of eyes.

The rest of the list is loaded with usual suspects: the Bills, Broncos, Colts, Giants, Browns, Steelers, Buccaneers, Bears, Patriots, Saints, and Falcons. No Cowboys this time, despite Dallas grabbing Alabama guard Tyler Booker at No. 12 in April. Dawgs, meanwhile, had 13 players drafted last spring, headlined by safety Malaki Starks going to Baltimore at 27. “(Linebacker) CJ Allen is up there,” one anonymous scout told AL.com, hinting at who might be next in line.

Some have already started to comment before the game on AL.com with anonymity for their candor. About the game, what has the scouts buzzing isn’t just the sheer number of prospects on the field, but the uncanny mirror image these two teams present. “It’s almost the same,” one NFL scout said. “The quarterbacks are very, very similar. Both are first-year starters. Both have abilities. Both have weapons. Both have a pretty good offensive line. And then defensively, I think both are strong.” Tide QB1 Ty Simpson can even choose to declare next year, and Bulldogs QB1 Gunner Stockton will be a draftable prospect.

If last year’s game is any indication, buckle up. Alabama pulled out a 41-34 shootout in Tuscaloosa, with Ryan Williams sealing the deal late in the fourth. Nobody predicted that barnburner, and even the NFL insiders admit they don’t quite know what to expect this time. “You don’t really know what to expect,” another scout said. “No one would have thought it was going to be that high scoring last year.” The mystery of whether this clash tilts toward a defensive slugfest or offensive fireworks is part of what makes it so enticing.

The questions extend beyond scoreboard drama. “It’s interesting to see how a team matches that,” one scout explained. “If it’s neck and neck, who comes ahead?” Georgia’s formula, according to another evaluator, is “really good complementary football.” The Bulldogs mix efficient offensive execution with the kind of defensive steadiness that gives them “a high floor.” That consistency is why they’ve been a fixture in the playoff picture. Still, the Bulldogs know their weakness: a No. 82-ranked passing defense. Against Alabama’s No. 13 passing offense, that’s like standing in front of a slingshot with a blindfold on.

The Tide will not be without pressure themselves. Their defense has muscle up front, but still must prove it can handle the balance Georgia brings. These two sides have a lot to prove, and the NFL scouts sprinkled through Sanford won’t miss a detail.

There’s one player already stealing the show when he’s not supposed to

It’s tough to single out one in such a talent-packed game. Still, one NFL scout didn’t hesitate: Alabama’s mammoth left tackle Kadyn Proctor is “probably” the top draft-eligible player in this game. That’s saying something when you’re talking about a Georgia–Alabama clash. The other honorable mentions were.

“Outside of that, there’s no dude you look at and is like, ‘there’s your Jalen Carter’ or ‘there’s your Quinnen Williams’ or whoever it may be. Derrick Henry. Brock Bowers. There’s nothing like that,” the scout admitted. “There’s nothing like that where you have your dead-set first-round player.”

Scouts are primarily focused on upperclassmen and draft-eligible players. Except, of course, for the one guy who is just an underclassman. That would be Alabama wideout Ryan Williams. “He is the best player in the matchup,” another scout flatly said. “What he did to (Georgia) last year—that’s a perfect example. He did that as a 17-year-old freshman.”
