Rookie JC Latham played as many snaps at his position as he could for the Tennessee Titans during the 2024 NFL season.

After the Titans chose Latham from Alabama with the seventh pick in the NFL Draft on April 25, he played every offensive snap at left tackle for Tennessee – 1,094 across 17 games.

Latham was among the nine NFL players who did not miss any offensive snaps during the 2024 regular season.

None of the defensive players from Alabama high schools and colleges was on the field for all his team’s defensive snaps during the regular season. Only two players in the league accomplished that.

But former Spain Park High School standout Michael Jackson played more defensive snaps than all but one player in the NFL during the 2024 regular season – 1,205 at cornerback for the Carolina Panthers.

Three other players with Alabama football roots played almost all the snaps they could. Bradley Bozeman (Handley, Alabama), who played every snap at center for Carolina in 2023, played 1,057 of the Los Angeles Chargers’ 1,067 offensive snaps in 2024.

Playing more than 99 percent of their teams’ defensive snaps in 2024 were Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick (Alabama), who played 1,083 defensive snaps and missed nine, and New York Jets linebacker Quincy Williams (Wenonah), who played 1,138 defensive snaps and missed 10.

Jackson was on the field more than any other NFL player from an Alabama high school and college during the 2024 regular season. In addition to his defensive work, Jackson had 103 special-teams plays for 1,308 total plays in 2024.

Eleven players from Alabama high schools and colleges had at least 1,000 offensive or defensive snaps in the 2024 regular season:

• Miami Dolphins cornerback Siran Neal (Eufaula, Jacksonville State): 372
• Arizona Cardinals linebacker Owen Pappoe (Auburn): 332
