In the NFL Draft on April 27, the Carolina Panthers made Alabama quarterback Bryce Young the No. 1 pick, and the Houston Texans chose his college teammate, linebacker Will Anderson Jr., at No. 3.

Less than two months later, the Crimson Tide appears poised to return to the top three of a draft – the NBA Draft.

Alabama forward Brandon Miller is expected to be the second or third selection on Thursday night in the 77th NBA Draft.

If that happens, Alabama will become the sixth school to place a player in the top three of the NFL and NBA drafts in the same year since 1966, the first year of the NBA Draft that did not give teams the option of claiming territorial picks before the start of the selections.

The schools with top-three selections in the NFL and NBA drafts in the same year include:

Michigan in 1966: The Los Angeles Rams chose guard Tom Mack at No. 2 in the NFL Draft, and the New York Knicks chose forward Cazzie Russell at No. 1 in the NBA Draft.

Kentucky in 1978: The Kansas City Chiefs chose defensive end Art Still at No. 2 in the NFL Draft, and the Indiana Pacers chose center Rick Robey at No. 3 in the NBA Draft.

Utah in 2005: The San Francisco 49ers chose quarterback Alex Smith at No. 1 in the NFL Draft, and the Milwaukee Bucks chose center Andrew Bogut at No. 1 in the NBA Draft.

Texas in 2006: The Tennessee Titans chose quarterback Vince Young at No. 3 in the NFL Draft, and the Chicago Bulls chose forward LaMarcus Aldridge at No. 2 in the NBA Draft.

California in 2016: The Los Angeles Rams chose quarterback Jared Goff at No. 1 in the NFL Draft, and the Boston Celtics chose guard Jaylen Brown at No. 3 in the NBA Draft.

If Miller goes in the top three, Alabama will be the first school to produce three top-three picks across the two drafts in the same year.

The Charlotte Hornets hold the No. 2 pick on Thursday night. If the Hornets select Miller, he’d be bound for Charlotte, North Carolina, where the Panthers and Young are based. That would be the first time that top-three picks from the NFL and NBA drafts landed in the same city.
